2.0 out of 5 stars Too easy
If you're looking for a challenge like NY Times Sunday Crosswords, don't buy this S&S.
I would classify this as Easy. If you're a beginner, this might be for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Harder than I expected, April 14, 2009

This review is from: Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book #254: The Original Crossword Puzzle Publisher (Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books) (Spiral-bound)
I was only able to work on the first few of these puzzles. I got discouraged and gave the book to a friend. Seem to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday-type puzzles -- not a mix of easy-to-hard, as I had hoped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good challenge, January 17, 2010

I've done a half dozen puzzles since getting this book. They are challenging but solvable, with some interesting cluing. I am experienced solver, having competed in the NY Times tournament a couple times, finishing in the middle of the pack. I would recommend this volume to solvers who can handle moderate difficulty. Think Thursday NY Times.
