5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, January 29, 2008

By	Victoria (Northern Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a fun book! The puzzles are a bit harder than those in Peter Greene's samurai sudoku books (which I liked) and thus more of a challenge.

There's a variation in some of the puzzles -- an "X" drawn in each overlapping 9x9 puzzle. On the lines of the X no numbers can repeat. Fewer squares are filled in on these puzzles but they aren't needed because the non-repeating diagonal numbers are an additional clue. I've enjoyed this new kind of puzzle so much, I'm finding the regular samurai puzzles a bit too easy.

I've not made my way though the entire book yet -- but that's good! I got through Mr. Greene's book too fast. This one is slowing me down. Perhaps by the time I'm done, a new one will be out.

The page sizes are good and paper quality is good -- stands up to erasing.

Highly recommended for fans of samuai sudoku.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samurai , January 8, 2008

By	Barbara A. Stevens (Gainesville, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really was pleased with the book. The boxes are large enough to work with easily. The puzzles start out a little too easy, but get harder as you work through the levels. I would recomend this book for Sudoku adicts.
