5.0 out of 5 stars
Handy size for travel - medium difficulty,
By Nick (Alexandria, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sit & Solve Travel Cryptic Crosswords (Sit & Solve Series) (Paperback)
This little book is shaped a bit oddly and it only measures about 3 inches by 6 inches. I found it easy to stash in an already full briefcase on a recent trip. Airports are so annoying -- hurry up and wait, people yakking on their cell phones, etc. I just bury my nose in a puzzle book and tune them out. I've done about 10 of the 45 puzzles and find them to be just about right for me: not so easy that I burn them up in 10 minutes per puzzle, but not so hard that I pile more frustration on top of the frustrations of flying in America in 2007. I've been doing cryptics for about 10 years. These puzzles might be a bit hard for a beginner.

This review is from: Sit & Solve Travel Cryptic Crosswords (Sit & Solve Series) (Paperback)
This is a little memo-pad-sized booklet containing 39 small vanilla cryptics, some of them recycled from Hook's _Mighty Mini Cryptics_. On the plus side, the author is Henry Hook, the booklet has a sewn binding(!), and it's inexpensive.
It's fine, and I guess I'm glad I bought it, but if you have any experience with cryptics don't get your hopes up that this will provide you with a lot of puzzling challenge.

Henry Hook in miniature,
By Penny (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sit & Solve Travel Cryptic Crosswords (Sit & Solve Series) (Paperback)
Anyone who loves cryptic crosswords knows that Henry Hook is definitely one of the best at creating clever, scratch-your-head, but fair (no esoteric words or definitions) cryptics. This little addition to his work is as consistently good as all of his others and its size makes it handy to take with you on a trip. The only problem is that you run out of puzzles more quickly than usual.
