review:

'Optical Illusions: An Eye-Popping Extravaganza of Visual Tricks' is a good introduction if you aren't familiar with optical illusions, and it's fun to look through. I liked how it was presented, but it does take the approach that you've never seen these sort of things before.



After a short introduction, the book is divided into four sections: Shapes, Distances and Sizes; Color and Subjective Motion; Ambiguous and Impossible Figures; and Tests and Experiments. Each figure has an answer key entry at the back of the book. Some of the answers seemed to be a bit condescending, and some figures don't specifically need an answer key entry so they seem superfluous.



I liked the variety of illusions given in the book, but I've seen more spectacular types of optical illusions. I didn't like the tone of the book.



I was given a review copy of this ebook by Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
