Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Awesome
Review: If you like a good puzzle, this is it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHY did I ever lend this book out?
Review: It was never returned, and I mourn its absence.

To me, The Egyptian Jukebox is the "Myst" of book puzzles. With a central theme that mixes Egyptology with Rock & Roll, woven together with intriguing little trinkets, cryptic narration, and a deceivingly simple riddle to solve ("Where do my worlds join?"), it will draw in anyone who ever dreamed of solving an ancient mystery or unearthing a lost treasure.

Many with short attention spans will discard The Egyptian Jukebox before long. There are no instructions explaining how to even begin. But if you are a creative thinker and problem solver (and perhaps just a little obsessive), this puzzle will be both amusing and rewarding. The solution will amuse you, but like a favorite novel, will leave you wishing that the book never came to an end.

Summary: Enter at your own risk!!!!
Review: Once you step into the world of Hamilton Hasp, you will search until you find him. You become obsessed; but it's fun when you involve family and friends.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Extremely well-crafted and beautifully-illustrated puzzler
Review: The highest praise I can give any book (and this one) is that Iwish to the heavens there were more books like it. Work at the levelof "The Egyptian Jukebox" and Kit Williams' "Masquerade" are few and far between. The main difference is that I never independently solved "Masquerade", whereas I solved "Jukebox" in one stay-up-late evening. I wish the fun had lasted longer (hence the rating of "8" rather than "10"), but while it lasted it was a thrill

Summary: Nick Bantock's Egyptian Jukebox is positively addictive!
Review: Warning: This book will have you up way past your bedtime! The Egyptian Jukebox is a cabinet containing ten separate drawers, each with its own mystery. You solve these by examining the contents of each drawer, and reading the cryptic clues left behind by an eccentric millionaire. Once you solve these ten puzzles, you must solve the greatest riddle of them all...This book is both a work of art and one of the toughest puzzles you will ever solve. It kept me up for two weeks straight!
