My Review

This is a cleverly written collection of 101 riddles, meant to create an understanding rather than to impart knowledge. These 101 riddles are crafted in such a way that they challenge the readers. These are not meant to be read but to be solved. By solving them we will be able to build a greater understanding of them. The author also explains the difference between knowledge and understanding in the introduction. Most of us are hungry for knowledge because we know that it is the key to progress. But what we don’t know is, this key will not work if we don’t know how to use that knowledge. Here comes the role of understanding. To transform knowledge into wisdom, we must walk through the bridge of understanding. Riddles are meant to test our knowledge to develop an understanding of things.

What makes this book unique is its variations on riddles. All riddles are classified based on difficulty such as easy, intermediate, and difficult. Then in the contextual sense, they are classified into three, literal, metaphorical, and unirical. Also, a single riddle may have more than one section. First 51 riddles are classic ones with some changes to create understanding. The author encourages us to write our riddle too in this section. The second section consists of 50 riddles which are a step forward. Here we have to write the contextual meaning, difficulty level, and type of riddle. This test on riddles enables us to create them as our own.

Highly recommend this book if you are someone who likes to build an understanding from your acquired knowledge.
