2No Puzzle Titles  Nov 25, 2007
After really enjoying volume 1 through 4 of this series, I bought volume 7. The puzzles are just as great in this one as in volumes 1 through 4, but the titles of the puzzles are missing! This removes some of the fun, as part of doing a crossword is figuring out how the title relates to the puzzle theme. This is an incredible oversight to me--the book claims it was edited by Will Shortz, but I doubt he even looked at it or surely this would have been caught. You're better off sticking to the volumes that are complete.

3Lots of fun, doable puzzles, but too many recycled clues  Nov 10, 2007
Just recently I become interested in crosswords for the first time, so I picked up this book. The puzzles in it are for the most part very fun and pretty doable, even for a crossword beginner.

My one complaint about this volume is that there are way too many recycled clues in the fifty different puzzles. Perhaps there are just certain basic clues that are common to most puzzles, but I found -- and I am not exaggerating -- no less than 50 clues which were used in multiple puzzles. And I am not talking about just the same answer, but essentially the same clue. After a while this became very annoying. Not a gigantic deal, but it is something that bugged me a little.

Three stars.

Fun and interesting.
