 2 small May 16, 2010
By Andrea Hoffman
"andy"
2 small=2 stars. This puzzle book is the size of an old-time paperback book and the clues and the puzzles are on two different pages. Not the format for me. Not convenient and not user friendly. Be careful to read the descriptions so that you won't make the same mistake I did.

A life-saver for my 92-year-old father-in-law Jul 26, 2010
By Lurfy's Ma
My father-in-law has been doing the NY Times crosswords for 70+ years. He doesn't do the Sunday puzzle because it's too hard. He says he likes Monday and Tuesday best. He likes to do them a day late so he can peek.
Sadly, his mobility and vision have been deteriorating. He had a fall recently and was in the hospital for awhile. I got him this book. Everyone said he wouldn't use it. They had bought other books for him and he just did the ones in the paper. For some reason, maybe because he was bed-ridden, he fell in love with this book. He was bragging to me that he did a couple only peeking once.
I am grateful to Will Shortz for this book which is just the right level for my FIL. I'll get him another when he finishes this one.

A fun puzzle book/ An update May 27, 2011
By Jimmianne
I'm enjoying this book because it is challenging but doable for me. I don't care for puzzles where the words are so obscure that you can't even find them when you look them up. There is just enough of a challenge here to make things fun.
When I read the low review I wasn't sure about this book - the review said that the puzzle and clues were on different pages...I thought they meant you had to turn the page. The clues are opposite the puzzle so I don't see what the problem is.
update: this book has been a blast. I'm on puzzle 67 now and the book is becoming an old friend... & adversary, and still 63 to go! Thanks, Will Shortz! I may even be ready for the next puzzle level after completing this book sometime next year.

Good Stuff for beginners! Jan 22, 2010
By Erika
For those just starting to get into crosswords, like myself, this book is great! It makes you think, but doesn't strain your brain. The type is a good size too.
