-There are no weird shaped pieces that I can think of
-All of the text helps to piece it together
-And the pieces have a very tight fit.
I think all of these things can either be pros or cons depending on personal preference. Personally, the pieces were a little too tight a fit, so sometimes it was frustratingly difficult to tell if two pieces belonged together or were just a close fit, because either way you have to really push it in there. There was also an excess of puzzle dust or whatever it's called that made me sneeze quite a bit, but neither of these things were enough to remove a star.
If you want to glue and mount your puzzle to display it:
-I pour mod podge (the glossy one, but I'm pretty sure any finish works) onto the puzzle and spread with an old library card. Protect work surfaces with wax paper because it can get messy. I've been told actual puzzle glue leaves less streaks that you can see in the glare of lights, but it's never bothered me and puzzle glue is more expensive while I am a poor student.
-After that's dried, I flip the puzzle over (I should be one piece like a poster now) and use spray adhesive to glue a foam board that's bigger around than the puzzle. If you can't find a board big enough, you can use two; just make sure to press them together so there are no gaps.
-Then flip the puzzle right side up, and I use an X-acto knife to trim the extra bits around the edges. Sometimes using a ruler helps. I've never actually accidentally trimmed a bit of the puzzle off before, but I'm pretty paranoid when doing that part.
You can also trim the foam board first before gluing, but I'm even more paranoid about dropping the board so that it's stuck in the wrong place.
That being said, I do have a couple of constructive criticisms (nothing too big, but I would remove half a star if I had that option). First, this puzzle has an excessive amount of puzzle dust. While that does not affect the overall fun of the puzzle itself, it does get a bit annoying and meant that I had to grab my vacuum. Secondly, the fit on some of the pieces is a bit loose, so it isn't as easy to move large chunks as I would have liked. Finally, and this is just a personal preference, the pieces are huge, as is the overall puzzle size. Personally, I feel like the bigger pieces are a little less enjoyable (but can see how someone with decreased eyesight would appreciate the size) and I also dislike a larger overall size because it limits me to only being able to assemble the puzzle at my dining table instead of on the coffee table.
All things considered, my criticisms are quite minor and I do recommend this puzzle.
