I purchased this book for my 7-year-old last year--a girl who loves art and math equally well. It has been 8 months and she STILL pulls out this book every week or so to work on a picture...and the results are really beautiful. It's detailed enough that she feels accomplished with her work and clean enough that it's not overwhelming. I highly recommend it!

This is a great coloring book. I am a teacher and I intend to use it in my classroom. I would encourage you to copy or scan the pages so you can use the book over and over again!

My husband and I enjoy coloring. I am not ashamed to admit it to the world. It helped us get through the process of him quitting smoking. This book offers a range of designs, most of which are fairly simple, but never the less a good way to zone out and releive stress. For the price, this is a fun book to add to your collection.

I have owned a copy of this book for about 12 years now and I have not parted with it yet! The patterns might be complex, but it is a good resource for any artist. Even in my 12th year of ownership I have a new use for it in needlework.
I have gotten my money's worth.

This book doesn't offer many design variations & is too simplistic for my tastes. While a few were great optical illusion type (and therefore almost worth the price), there are less than 5 complex designs, the rest are exact repeats with slightly different sized elements, angles, or another simple element added. Boring for those who want a challenge & dislike repeating same theme/concept/design. For no-brainer type meditations where you don't want to focus too much on demands of the design, it would be good, as well as for beginners or those intimidated with too many choices. Of course, some will say there aren't many options for variety because of the geometric theme's limits--but the same could be said for mandala adult coloring books, yet there are an unlimited number of designs & levels of challenge in all the mandala books, that is not found in any of the geometric ones, so far.

The designs were decent quality paper & lines, not best nor worst. See my other mandala/coloring book reviews for more details on the best choices from the 8 sampled (bought & still use). I especially recommend "Power Mandalas" (BEST of all offerings here), but NOT "Classic Mandalas" (low quality design, simple & boring).

HINT: Photocopy, scan & print, or trace each page-design onto good quality craft, watercolor and/or acid-free paper, because you WILL want to frame ALL of your completed work/designs in "Power Mandalas" and still be able to go back & re-do certain ones repeatedly :-) This same hint applies to all of the adult coloring books.
Have fun!
