There are some good and funny clues and answer, but I promise you will be looking in the back for a lot of answer because sometimes the answers don't make any sense. For example, one clue was a saucy dessert topping, I figured out chocolate with four blanks after. Sauce didn't fit, creme didn't either, turns out it was chocolate f@&$. I mean come on.

I bought this because my partner does crosswords often--and I sometimes "help"--and I thought a raunchy one would be fun. There is nothing wrong with the book but the gift was not a success. The problem is that the tone and style of the clues is so different from the New York Times that it feels like something new and hard rather than like something she enjoys for diversion. Someone else might react differently.

If you don't have a crossword habit, and you like dirty words, I reckon you'll have a lot of fun with it.

I gave this as a gift to a friend that loves to do crossword puzzles. We were laughing hysterically at the puzzle titles and some of the clues!! Lot's of fun!

A fun book. Very different crosswords. It has a way of letting you know how out of touch you are with certain parts of the world.
