5.0 out of 5 stars top quality puzzles, February 26, 2007

This review is from: Beyond Sudoku: Kakuro, Hanjie, and Other Japanese Logic Puzzles (Paperback)

The editors have assembled a set of puzzles that explores the various patterns and approaches of each puzzle genre. The collection does not feel the least bit repetitive.

This is one of the two most satisfying puzzle books I've had the pleasure of owning (the other being Mensa's "Challenge Your Brain Math & Logic Puzzles").

This review is from: Beyond Sudoku: Kakuro, Hanjie, and Other Japanese Logic Puzzles (Paperback)

I really like pencil puzzles, and I graduated in math, so you think I'd love sudoku. I don't for some reason. And, luckily, there's no sudoku in this book.

I found this book, because I started playing this game called Slither Link online, and that's one of the 7 or so different puzzles in this book. I was familiar with a few of the puzzles, and some are new, so it's a nice balance between stuff I already knew and introducing me to cool new puzzles.

The binding will probably fall apart by the time you're done with the book, especially if you're like me and rip out a few pages to give to friends to use. But none of the puzzles go over the pages--each puzzle is only one one page, so it's not that big of a deal if the pages fall out. You can always just stuff a few pages in another book, and take that with you.

Did not care for this book, poor binding as another reviewer mentioned. Instructions fair at best. I ended up selling the book at a garage sale.
