great puzzles, but the small size can be cumbersome Dec 20, 2005
By David J. Miller
"postdoc"
The puzzles are top notch and you get 320 for your money, a very good deal. As the book is so thick, the page size is a bit small, making the left hand puzzles at the beginning of the book (and vice versa for the right hand pages at the back of the book) difficult to keep flat. The paper is tough enough to withstand multiple erasings and there is only minimal bleed through from puzzles on reverse page faces. It is up to you to decide whether or not these "hand-made" puzzles are better than computer generated. I have never played a computer generated puzzle, so I can't comment.

 A nice portable little book of puzzles Jun 28, 2006
By Atheen M. Wilson
"Atheen"
This is a nice little book. The small size means you can carry it easily with you for a diversion while awaiting a bus, an appointment or friends. It's a little difficult to physically manage because of this fact, however, and the squares are small, so it's difficult if you like to write in the possible solutions for the individual squares as I do. The puzzles are graded into "easy," "medium," "hard," and "very hard," and these assessments are accurate. You can solve any of them with the usual methods you employ for them but will find that the greater the level of difficulty the greater amount of time it'll take to solve them. I find that I tend to select a puzzle level based on how I'm feeling rather than strictly on what level I think I can do. If I'm not feeling like a major challenge, I tend to do easy puzzles. It gives me a sense of satisfaction without frustrating me when I may already be stressed out enough. I choose more challenging puzzles when I'm feeling more up to the demands, but then for me the point of doing these puzzles is to enjoy the experience, not to "prove" anything to anyone.
Best Sudoko books on the market Feb 15, 2011
By Poodles in AK
I love these Sudoku books - best on the market. Great instructions and there isn't a puzzle that cannot be finished, even the "very hard". Make take a little more time but you WILL always be able to get them done - no guessing, just a little more thinking. LOVE THEM! Will never buy any other brand of Sudoku puzzle books but Nikoli.
This book is stealing time from my life! Dec 06, 2007
By P. Gowen
There's something about human generated sudoku puzzles that inspire you to continue trying to solve them long after you would have given up on a computer generated puzzle. My house is falling down around me, my wife is threatening divorce, and my health is failing....but I am having so much fun working these sudoku puzzles!
The is the best sudoku puzzle series!!

 Worthless Purchase Mar 04, 2006
By Heather L. Maloney
I only give this a 1 because I can't choose a zero.
Whomever wrote the puzzles for this book obviously doesn't know the rules of sudoku:
No number can appear twice within a column, row, or 9-box sub-section (nor located in the same box within the 9-box sub-section). I'm a sudoku fanatic, so I'm very versed in the rules. When I sat down and started working the puzzles, I found myself running up against instances on every puzzle where the same number would have to appear in the upper left hand box of each sub-section twice within the same puzzle (which is a BIG no-no). When this happened 10 times in a row, I went back to the answer page and discovered all of the puzzles had this defect.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BOOK!!
