 cheap newsprint paper May 16, 2007
There is one puzzle per page in this pocket sized book. It would have been overpriced at cover price $6.95.

Great for Beginners Aug 16, 2006
I bought this book because I had done a couple of the puzzles in the daily newspaper and had quite a bit of fun with them. I recommend this to anyone who has just started playing around with Sudoku and would like to know what level of difficulty they are comfortable with. The progression of difficulty from "easy" to "fiendish" is very consistent throughout the book, which allows you to be fairly certain about your current level of skill. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it prompted me to purchase the New York Post "difficult" book, which contains 200 puzzles that are all fairly challenging without being extremely frustrating.

 Japan's Revenge For WWII? Jul 31, 2006
I'm assuming everyone reading this knows what Sudoku is, right? Numbers game, fad of the `00's, left-brain challenge, etc. etc. etc. Okay, that said, if you like this supposedly addictive little game, you'll love this book. I mean if you're a Sudoku fan you'll likely just be left grinning ear to ear in pacified delight at what's inside. However, if you're sane, you don't own a collection of pocket protectors, and/or want my advice: run for your life! IMHO Sudoku is even less fun than the joyous delight that was trig class, and is for sure a form of torture devised in the malevolent dungeons of some university psychology department funded by the remnants of public mind control agents unemployed since the breakup of the USSR. How can this be fun? I got this as a present (uh, if you're reading this, Dad, thank you, I Love It!) and tried to get into it and was left with my hair standing on end, shivering under a blanket, muttering like a bag lady, a traumatized shadow of my normally vigorous self. But hey, if undertaking this evil puzzle is your cuppa, go for it. This book has it all where Sudoku is concerned, and is a bargain at half the price.

 Great portable Sudoku! Jul 27, 2006
This book is perfect for sticking in your tote bag while on the go. I enjoy the different puzzles ranging from easy to fiendish. Although I mainly stick to the difficult/fiendish section, I will have a desire to do an easy puzzle from time to time. The price can't be beat either. The font is easy on the eyes, and the paper is easy to write and erase on (mistakes? really? :)
Hours and hours of pure Soduku enjoyment here! Get #2 and #3 while you're at it!

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com Dec 06, 2005
The New York Post is often credited with popularizing sudoku in the United States.... as if we needed something new that we could become addicted to! We fell for it like a ton of bricks, and now millions of us need to get our fix daily, if not more often. For those of you for whom one puzzle a day just isn't quite enough, pick up a few sudoku books so you'll always be prepared. The New York Post book series are great ones to start with, with puzzle difficulties ranging from very easy to wickedly difficult. Even the best sudoku-ers enjoy a simple puzzle from time to time (they are quick enough to do during a coffee break), and this book also makes a nice starting point for beginners.
