 Pushing Past Expert level Jul 11, 2009
Excellent - clear and pleasant to read. Once past the expert level all I could do was proof by contradiction, and the few attempts I'd made to understand 'fishy patterns' and 'chains' made little sense. This made sense.

This book is a wonderful guide to improve your Sudoku skills! There are also pizzles, which go step by step through each new tip.
 GOOD BOOK Jun 09, 2009
Don't think it would take one a whole year, or 52 weeks to deal conquer all the techniques presented here. SOME are easy which SUDOKU solvers already use, without giving a name to them. Some techniques are not easily explained, and I had difficulty understanding the steps. All in all, a good little book, which includes puzzles in which to try the techniques.
I'm not too swift, but. . . Nov 24, 2008
This little book seems to be pretty understandable, and I THINK that I'm beginning to learn to do Sudoku. I wanted to do it to keep my brain alive and healthy, and while it is hard for me, I really think I'm learning it.

If you want to understand suduko. READ THIS! Oct 30, 2008
This book is the only thing you need to become proficient at solving Sudoku's.
I recently started practicing Sudoku because Bridge, Pinochle, etc were not mentally challenging enough.
I read two other books who talked like a cross between a lawyer, and a mathematician. I will not give the names of those books because I am talking about THIS book.
I like this book because he gives strategies you can use such as cross hatching, virtual cross hatching, X wings, XY wings, and jelly fish, and more importantly he has a puzzle on the page right there so you can put those strategies into practice right then and there.
I do not like writing in books so I copies the puzzle and worked them on a dry erase board.
With this book I have gone from the easy puzzles up to moderate, and now I am working the easy to moderate squigly Sudoku's in just a few short weeks!
I prefer to work squiggly puzzles because it forces the Sudoku player to throw the very basic techniques like cross hatching out the window and attack the puzzle wholisticly
