5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Su Doku book - the big squares make this book good., September 10, 2005

This review is from: The Big Book of Su Doku #2 (Sudoku) (Paperback)

In his first Su Doku book, "The Big Book of Su Doku #1", Huckvale presented many Su Doku puzzles that varied in difficulty. From 4 x 4 squares to 6 x 9 squares to 9x9 squares to 12x12 squares. In this second book, he adds in jigsaw and Doubles, along with varied difficulties in the puzzles. The jigsaw and doubles aren't necessarily more difficult but it gives a nice twist, just something different. But the main reason I like Huckvale's books better than other Su Doku books I have seen, is that his squares in the puzzles are large. This means you can actually make tiny notes to yourself when trying to solve the puzzle. Compared this to other books where the squares are quite small and it makes it more difficult to make notes. Thanks for the big squares!

I brought this book on my long flight to kill sometime. The letters are big and the book is fun. The only thing that I don't really like is the paper quanlity. It's coarse and pages are easy to fall out.

The Book of Sudoku 3 compiled by Michael Mepham
Published by: The Overlook Press, Peter Mayer Publishers, Inc. New York & Woodstock
Published in year 2005. 132pages
It is a puzzle book.

This Sudoku book is filled with puzzles rated easy to hard. They will strain your brain and sometimes leave you puzzled!

Sudoku is a new form of puzzles originated in Japan, which has just recently come out. The level of puzzles range from gentle to diabolical. The puzzles are 9 by 9 grids that are subdivided into 9 smaller grids of 3 by 3 squares. Each puzzle has only one solution.

Sudoku is the best kind of puzzle there is. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is hard. It is hard to put down. It keeps me awake; it helps me stay sharp and open-minded. I would definitely recommend this book to others. It is addictive and I find myself doing Sudoku during class, standing in line, and on the bus.
