Spiroglyphics: Cities

I love this book. Great way to spend leisure time or family time. My kids & coworkers are addicted now!

First, I wasn't sure if you were supposed to start coloring the very outer ring (enclosed loop), or the open portion of the spiral. I quickly figured that part out. I completed a few a pages, which take a very long time, and can't see the images very well. It was only because I was unable to see the image very clearly that I questioned if maybe I was coloring the spiral incorrectly. Unlike many reviews suggest, this book is not a puzzle. A puzzle requires some amount of skill. Regardless of skill level -- as long as you can mostly color within the lines -- everyone will get the same result. You also don't need to be very creative to color these. I really loved this author's previous book series and hoped to get the same satisfaction. This review is not to suggest YOU shouldn't buy these books or that YOU will dislike this series. This was simply my experience.

I bought this for my brother because he wanted one of these really bad. I understand why! Although, if you're not a patient person I wouldn't recommend buying as it takes patience and precise detailing to make it look decent. It's super cool and you get satisfied when you're done coloring it. You can be creative with this as well!

Tedious at first, which is fine, but 70% of the way through you see what the final image will be and then it's boring finishing it off. Not quite tracing, not quite coloring, so not sure who these are for though I applaud the idea. Maybe if it wasnt just spirals.

Addicting! I hope a bunch more of these books come out soon.

Took some time to get use to coloring and finding out what works best for you. But finally figured out a mechanical pencil was the best, the pictures started to come together. It’s now my favorite type of coloring to do.

Fun

-Challenging and interesting for 10-12 year-olds

-Inexpensive gift appropriate for 10-12 year olds who enjoy coloring

This made for a fabulous gift for a 10-year old girl (bought a different one in this series for a 12 year-old, which was also a hit).

It's always tough finding a gift for this age group that's not too expensive. She loved it and got right to it. It was a bit challenging and took her till the 3rd picture to get it right, but it's lots of fun!

I got this book because I like to keep my hands busy but not have to think super hard about what I’m doing. This is the first book I have done like this and I really enjoyed the first picture I did. I turned it into a christmas gift for my sister and brother in law because they used to take vacations up to New York when they first started dating. Fingers crossed they enjoy it just as much as I do. The heart is something I incorporated, it is not in the design.

The finished pictures look best from a distance of several feet
