At the risk of being called a plagiarist, (sorry "Siliobarber") all I can do is quote another reviewer .... who simply summed up my thoughts exactly .....
" ..... There were so many elements involved that it was hard to keep track where to return to place the item or solve a puzzle. While I played, I kept thinking that it had enough puzzles to fill another game. Which is probably what should've been done. Ultimately, it became too much and I just clicked the Hint button endlessly so I would be taken to the next step ...."
One of the more disappointing games I have played. The story line is silly and the hidden objects too easy. The characters were very uninteresting. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could delete it.
This game had the best dialogue of any Big Fish game I've played. Some of it was of the "adult" variety, but I thought it was very clever. Now comes the "I Don't Know" part. I thought the game play was confusing, and at times lacked common sense, and so I can see where some reviewers disliked this game. So in the end "I Don't Know" if I liked this game, or if I would recommend it. I do know that because of the witty, fun, dialogue I wanted to like it, ........ but I can see where this game can be a disappointment.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the best Big Fish game I've played. Some really clever dialogue and puzzles that are solvable. Once you get used to regularly changing between the various time zones, the game play gets easier. Whilst the graphics are simple (some might say too simple) I really enjoyed playing this cleverly designed game.
I couldn't get into this game, I found it too repetitive. I bought it at the same time as "Bonnie's Book Store" and in my opinion "Bonnie" is a far superior word game because the game play is varied.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoy word games, but at first I really didn't think this one was going to be any good. But it was on sale so I bought it without expecting much. After eventually trying it, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't find it particularly difficult, but it was an enjoyable time filler, and I found it more relaxing than Bookworm because in the "classic mode" at least, the "writer's blocks" did not end the game, and the player can work around them and still win the game.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game. It's a "one of a kind" and I think it works.
In my opinion the degree of difficulty is not so much in "if" the player can work out the solutions (because the answers are not terribly difficult in most cases) ... but in how many attempts it takes to get the solution. I found satisfaction in using less guesses to work things out. The game developers deserve credit for attempting something out of the ordinary.
I've played a few solitaire games and this one is not too bad. I don't think it is extremely difficult, ..... but that tended to make it a relaxing way to pass the time. If you collect the correct cards to use, and collect enough "pearls" then you should be able to complete the game without too much trouble.
