Book Reviews of Cinema Acrostics
Book Review: Great combination
Summary: 5 Stars
My family loves movies and acrostics, so this is the perfect puzzle book for us. Fortunately, we have a spread of ages, so what one person doesn't know, another might. And it's great fun to find that a clue, or even an entire quote, is from a favorite film. There's a nice mix of easy/hard, old/new, well-known/obscure, and Hollywood/foreign. The joy of acrostics is that they build momentum, so even if you know only three or four answers at the beginning, you can make educated guesses on the quote that often get you headed in the right direction in figuring out a difficult clue. We're eager for a second book from Peter Scher. Our only complaint is that the answers are too accessible; we quickly taped the back of the book shut when it arrived.
Summary of Cinema Acrostics
For the person who sticks around for the credits when everyone else is hurrying out of the cinema, these puzzles draw their answers from films old and new, famous and a bit more obscure, and cover performers, directors, plots, titles, and anything else that has touched the silver screen. "Peter Scher combines a deft touch in puzzle writing with a dazzling knowledge of cinema history. Two thumbs up!" Emily Cox & Henrey Rathvon, acrostic writers for the Sunday New York Times. About the Author Peter Scher is a graduate from Harvard University and Tulane Law School. He has worked as a Lawyer, Editor and Teacher. This is his first book.Crosswords Books
