5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Wanted, May 11, 2008

Wing Fat - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will Shortz Presents Ferocious Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles (Paperback)

This book gives you 100 "difficult" puzzles and 100 "very challenging" puzzles. Although there's no official grading system for Sudoku puzzles, I've done about half the puzzles in this book and I would say those descriptions are accurate. The "difficult" puzzles are hard enough to make me think but not so hard that I've had to use notations to solve them, and the "very challenging" puzzles usually require me to make notations and I've even gotten hung up on a couple of them.

The book is big enough so that the puzzles can be easily read yet small enough that it will fit in your laptop case. It's also very fairly priced for the number of puzzles you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe too tough, but then that's the point, right?, September 30, 2008

This review is from: Will Shortz Presents Ferocious Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles (Paperback)

Well, I've gone through quite a few sudoku books and thought I was hot stuff. Then Ferocious Sudoku book assaulted my ego. Well, if you're looking to step up to the big leagues, this is the book; I haven't found a tougher one.

This review is from: Will Shortz Presents Ferocious Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles (Paperback)

These puzzles aren't as hard as I had hoped, but are better than most books. Well worth it, and will pass the time as desired.

I personally cannot comment on how hard or challenging these puzzles are, I bought the book as a gift for my girlfriend. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly intimidating but certainly not ferocious
Although they're all labeled as 'difficult,' some are much easier than others. Still I'm enjoying working my way through. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very difficult
I thought I was a Sudoku master, and was not challenged at all by the Sudoku puzzles I found online and in the papers. So much so that I started doing them in pen. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars lives up to its name
I bought this as a gift for a sudoku lover who loves a challenge. When I heard, "I need to use a pencil for this one," I new I knew I made the right choice.

Am on the last puzzle. Have found each puzzle challenging and enjoyable. If you take your time and not rush things, you'll figure out new ways to solve these. Cheers.
