I just had an interview appointment at Microsfot campus just this morning. I was applying a tech job as a software tester thru Volt Services. Normally, Volt (or any technology hiring services) would give some interview tips and interview prep for tech applicants.
So, as part of interview process, the Microsoft guy asked brain teasers(aka "puzzles") first. And then he asked me to solved it in the whiteboard. (The teaser question was NOT in this book though, I am sorry to say. It was more like of a geometric trick question which requires some trigonometric interpretations and a lot of common sense that most programmers and math enthusiasts may easily miss to answer it.)
After the brain teasing question, there was a series of technical and abstract questions such as network troubleshooting scenarios and remote file searching accross the network which a quick-minded network tech could easily answer it. And then the interviewer began to ask about programming algorithms and how these algorithms be tested against predefined testing procedures.
One of the questions given to me was similar in this book! The question was to create an algorithm that let a string such as , "This is a string" be displayed in the screen in a reversed order WITHOUT applying to any reverse function available to any programming languages. And test the result of the algorithm against the methodical procedures applied to software testing.
Microsoft and other tech companies out there asked questions of many kind. And they may or may not be in any book available. But having and reading this book can increase your chances of a better interview results. I hope this review helps.

The questions in this book is becoming quite standard and out of date. But the problems asked are interesting and would do as a good tool to sharpen up your brain, after rusting in your current job.
Recommend it if you need to work on some quiz to brushen up. But if you are looking for questions that will turn up in interviews, you might be disappointed.
