3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed - 50 moderate puzzles in this "hard" book, December 16, 2010

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

I am very disappointed that 50 out of the 200 puzzles in this "Tough Sudoku" book of "hard" puzzles are only rated as moderate. After doing a few of them, I agree that they are rated appropriately. I didn't pay for moderate puzzles. I paid for HARD puzzles. :( The other "hard puzzle" books by Will Short are all of a difficult level, so I'm not sure what happened with this one, but if moderate is too easy for you, as they are for me, don't waste your money on this one.

This is a good book for the advanced Sudoku gurus who like to sit back and take it easy for spell, without getting into the boredom of the more elementary puzzles. For serious puzzle solving I like more difficilt puzzles, but for relaxation, this book is just right.
