Manhattans, Martinis and Moonlight 1000pc. Puzzle

One of the best puzzles I've assembled in years. Fazzino's artwork promises a fun puzzle assembling experience from first piece to last!

The funnest puzzle I've done in years. My 13 year old daughter who never does puzzles with me because they're "lame," sat next to me and helped me assemble it. It moves fast. We like it because there isn't vast areas of sky or mountains or trees that take forever to find. Goo quality pieces, too!

I have to laugh at Amazon's rating for puzzles sometimes. There are different star factors for things like the fun of this toy and it's education value. It's a puzzle, which is great for teaching hand eye coordination and mental processes like analyzing and problem solving skills. As an education tool, puzzles are great for those things but I'm not sure I'd hand this particular puzzle to a younger kid. While the cluster of different images to this puzzle make it fun and interesting to put together, the lady in the bikini top, the guy with his butt crack showing and some of the other funny adult content may not be the best for younger audiences.I think the picture in this puzzle is a lot of fun and found the printing quality to be excellent. What I didn't think was as good as the quality of the puzzle cardboard/laminated paper and the way the pieces are cut. This leads me to one of the other star ratings for this toy- the durability. Number one, it's a puzzle so don't dump water or chocolate milk on it because it will ruin the pieces. I also found this to be a lighter weight cardboard compared to a puzzle like Ravensburger. As my husband and I were sitting around sorting out the edges, we both noticed that some of the pieces were stuck together. They were pieces that went together and when you tried to separate them, the process occasionally caused some of the layers of cardboard to flake apart. The other thing I noticed (besides the annoying white border around the entire edge of the puzzle) was there are pretty much only two puzzle piece styles. Why there isn't only two is that the edge pieces have a straight edge on one side - otherwise they would be only two types of puzzle pieces. I thought the interlocking of the pieces wasn't as good because of this very basic configuration.I really enjoyed putting this together as the image is a total blast, but because of the quality of the puzzle, I can't give this puzzle more than 3 stars.
