Mensa Guide to Solving Sudoku: Hundreds of Puzzles Plus Techniques to Help You Crack Them All (Mensa)

Here it comes: a revolution in sudoku solving! This is by far the most complete guide to cracking these addictive puzzles ever produced, with tricks even the experts won’t know. While most books might have a few pages of introduction before proceeding straight to the sudokus, this one covers it all. Hidden pairs, naked pairs, X-wings, jellyfish, squirmbag, bivalue and bilocation graphs, turbot fish, grid coloring, chains: every single one is here, and much more too, including the exclusive Gordonian logic methods (Gordonian rectangles and Gordonian polygons) that will turn even the hardest puzzles into a breeze. Of course, there are hundreds of sudoku for practice. A very special addition: a reprint of the very first sudoku ever published in 1979, from Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games magazine!

5Improve your solving ability  Apr 08, 2008
This book gets five stars because it is the first book I found that actually helped me get better at working hard puzzles (and I was no slouch before I got this). I see some reviewers complaining about the puzzles being smaller than many books, which is true, but this book has over 700 puzzles in it. I'll take more puzzles any day.

3Info good, quality not so much  Mar 23, 2008
The information contained in this book is informative and useful to the Sudoku solver, but the construction quality of this book leaves a little to be desired.

Within 2 days of receiving this book and working puzzles in it, pages came loose from the binding and started falling out. The binding on this book is terrible. If you want this book, use extreme care handling it otherwise the pages will fall out.

The information is good, worth 5 stars. But the poor quality of the binding knocks 2 stars off.

5Great for solving hard puzzles  Jan 27, 2008
This wasn't the first sudoku book i bought, so i already new some techniques, but i bought it hoping this book could help me solve those difficult puzzles in which i was stuck. And it did, great book, explaines and repeats all techniques, most of them are easy to understand, others are preety long. All in all great book.

4Good for dedicated sudoku solvers  Dec 12, 2007
If you're really into sudoku, this is the book for you. It's detailed, concise yet personable, and well-written. It's not dry; it seems as if the author is sitting in your living room talking to you.

If you're a novice or aren't planning to get too into sudoku, you might get bored with this book - most of the techniques he covers involve writing in all the possible numbers for each space! This is necessary if you want to solve very difficult sudoku, but is probably too tedious for the average sudoku solver.

Overall, I enjoy the book.

3Solving Sudoku Review  Dec 12, 2007
This book is very good at explaining techniques. My only complaint about this book is that they made the puzzles too small. I have to write so tiny just to fit my numbers in. That's the only drawback to this book. Other than that it's great for explaining the techniques. I wish there had been a way to make the puzzles on much bigger grids. I don't mind a fatter book, so I can write the numbers in the boxes.
