Clementoni - Gothic Collection - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle: The Name of the Rose

Superb puzzle. Bought for my wife at Christmas along with a few others. She's an avid puzzler so I'm always searching for the extra challenging one. This one is quite difficult but she managed it in 7 evenings. Also bought Victoria Frances' "Poison" and the 2000 piece "Fire" jigsaw puzzles (Heye brand) both of which slowed her down but even the larger one she had mastered in 2 weeks. So this one is not for the faint hearted and probably more suited to the avid jigsaw fans rather than the novice. I like to see the finished works too as all these mentioned have some stunning ladies - maybe bringing out the hidden Goth in me.The figure is relatively straightforward but handling the background can be frustrating and tedious for some. If you get this one and finish then a great sense of achievement awaits but I can see some people giving up!

I have only just started this puzzle, so far it is going well. the subject of the jig-saw is beautiful, just the kind of puzzle I like.

I am a massive puzzle fan and lover of gothic fantasy art, so when I saw this at my local Lidl's for a fiver, I jumped at the chance to buy it. The art work is gorgeous and the puzzle a frustrating pleasure to do. The woman was relatively easy to fill in, but the background is a good deal more difficult to place. The vast collection of browns, make it a good challenge for those of us who love puzzles. When I finally placed the last piece, the feeling of accomplishment was great. It can take a while, but I enjoyed every annoying minute of it.Worth the price.
