 A Pet Peeve Apr 20, 2008
I enjoy puzzles with a funny or punny theme, but many, many of these puzzles contain a pet peeve of mine. I much prefer that the longer theme answers be self-contained to give a decent chance of solving them; in this book, however, the theme answers are all part of a single quote, or even worse, a made-up quip. Half the fun of solving a themed puzzle is figuring out what the theme IS, then solving each clue. I would say about half of these puzzles have clues that consist of "Quip, part 1" or whatever. Boring!

The cover is the funniest part of this book. Dec 04, 2007
I did not find these puzzles either challenging or amusing - would have been better off just to buy a penny press book off the grocery store shelf.

 The New York Times Will Shortz's Funniest Crossword Puzzles Feb 20, 2007
The crossword puzzle is great. It is fun to work and gives me quite a few challenges. It is a great mind stimulant.

Not So Hot Jan 04, 2007
I didn't like these puzzles much. They had some amusement value, but my chief complaint was that they were too easy. Maybe even easier than the Monday New York Times puzzle.

 Funny but disappointing Jul 01, 2006
This is a nice selection of fun crosswords, but they are too easy.
