5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift for Those Serving Time, March 13, 2006
By Judy R. Layman "lovable auntie" (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I you have a loved one doing some unfortunate incaraceration time, this is a great gift. It helps pass the time, promotes humorous conversation with other cellis, and it stimulates the mind. It will last some time and it is an acceptable gift if you order it and have it shipped from Amazon. It will not be concidered contraband unless they decide to wet it and make a sculpture or something. Everyone enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough Puzzles, March 8, 2006
These puzzles are really a great challenge. I have enjoyed the variety of puzzles included, and vow not to look at the solutions. (well maybe a little peek now and then)

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything..even goof ups!!, July 31, 2006
By Bonnie Canelakes "Bonster" (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not a bad puzzle book really, maybe not as good as some others but Ok nonetheless. However, they skimped on proofing I think, as the easy crossword puzzles are listed as the medium and vice-versa. A little discombobulating!
