Crack the Cube includes sixty eight (68) step by step full-color movies to explain concepts, clarify exactly what happens to pieces each step of the way and demonstrate every move sequence required to solve the Rubik's Cube. 

Whether you are old enough to remember the eighties; you loved the scene in the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" where Christopher Gardner (Will Smith) solved the cube in the back of a cab; you have owned a cube for years but have never managed to solve it; you find the existing books and instructions too confusing and hard to follow; or you are simply looking for an interesting challenge to keep you out of trouble, this book is for you. 

Crack the Cube will have you solving your first cube within a few hours. Chapters covering memory and finger techniques show you how to practice until you have no trouble solving the cube every time no matter how well it has been shuffled. With a little more practice you’ll be impressing your friends, kids and parents by solving it in under a minute.

    Awful

    First, the author does not use standard notation (R, R’, U, U’, etc). Lig and Log? Rig and Rog? Why not righty-tighty, lefty-loosy?
    Secondly, “deconstructing” the cube with every step is confusing. Pulling the piece out and sticking it where it should go via animation does not help one solve the cube via an algorithm. Unless the author wants you to physically take apart the cube and reassemble it; which defeats the purpose.
    Unfortunately, most “experts” at solving Rubik’s Cube lack the ability to coherently teach someone the steps necessary to solve it.
