Addictive but very disorganized,
By
This review is from: The Book of Sudoku #2 (Paperback)
Addictive.
But this particular book will tend to drive you crazy for 2 reasons: 1 - too little space: the puzzles are too small to allow one to write in solutions (gets awfully, awfully messy). 2 - misleading organization: some of the easy puzzles are really too complicated and some supposedly complicated ones are relatively easy -- leading to much confusion and frustration!. After hours of obsessive puzzling I went back to puzzle #1 for an easy break (I didn't solve it when I started). It was NOT easy at all but harder than most subsequent puzzles even in the "tough" section. I can prove it quite graphically. Did the authors actually solve these puzzles??? I wonder. 50% LARGER VERSION (workaround): I eventually used Excel software to make a resuable, easily printed layout with nicely bold borders like in the book BUT 50% larger so I could have space to pencil in and erase the often very complex potential solutions. I also had to devise a simple way of marking numbers to keep track of how selection of one number selected or eleminated others. The pathways get very complicated and you can trace effects through 20+ numbers before discovering a conflict or, worse, not discovering a conflict in a number selection which actually is incorrect. [My markings were underline "_" under selected number and short vertical mark "│" under eleminated number.] I got so frustrated with the bad organization and overly complex puzzles that I eventually threw the book away (into woodstove). If you want to avoid the addiction of this game, don't buy the book. If you buy the book, use a spreadsheet program to make a simple grid that you can fill in from the book and print. It's the only sane way. My revised puzzle size makes it possible to solve the more complex puzzles AT ALL. And, like I say, the difficulty has little to do with the groupings, which is misleading (to repeat myself).

Poor paper quality,
By
This review is from: The Book of Sudoku #2 (Paperback)
I did not enjoy this book as the puzzles are small making it difficult to put your "ideas" in the boxes when needed. The quality of the paper is poor which makes it nearly impossible to erase those occasional mistakes. I would not purchase this book again.

Michael Mepham does it again. A great follow up to the first book. I love this one too.
