I initially picked this book solely because of its relatively competitive price. And I just wanted to own a Sudoku book to play in between the time when I'm bored. It turns out to be that this is a great pick for its price. Like other reviews, for 5 bucks you get 200+ puzzles ranging in different levels of difficulties--suitable for beginners and even more advanced players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't even start if you're not willing to be a fanatic, December 16, 2005

This review is from: Sudoku: More than 200 Fun and Challenging Japanese Number Puzzles (Paperback)

What a great book! Puzzles range in difficulty, so you can do an easy one while trying to half pay attention to a lecture, or you can engross yourself into a difficult one when you are home alone listening to Bach fugues and drinking triple shots of espresso. There is enough room in the boxes to make whatever convoluted notes needed to convince yourself that you are making progress.

I just discovered sudoku a couple of weeks ago, in a moment of satori, and it has transformed my life like nothing before. The hours I've wasted on tetris and solitaire, I can't even bear to think about it. Now that I've discovered sudoku, I have found that I have superpowers. I can collapse the world into symbols, manipulate the forces of the universe to serve my needs, converting reality to base infinite, smiting my enemies with just the powers of logic, challenging all the fractal chaos of the universe to rain down upon me as I bathe in the perfection of my rows, columns, and grids. What I'm trying to say is that I've gotten into this, I recommend this book, buy it for the sudoku addicts in your life.

The appearance of the book is excellent. The quality of the cover and paper used in the pages is the best. It is big enough that the puzzles are easy to see and work. These puzzles are relatively new to our area and there is a helpful section on how the attack the puzzle successfully. I bought it for a Birthday present for my wife and she was delighted to see it. She is saving it to work the puzzles on a Cruise we are taking in January. It was a welcome and delightful gift for anyone that is a puzzle fan!
