5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, December 4, 2005

Megan Romer (Lafayette, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New York Times Crosswords for Your Coffee Break: Light and Easy Puzzles (Paperback)

The thing about crossword puzzles is that even hard-core fans sometimes like to do an easy and fun puzzle. These ones are great. An excellent puzzler should be able to complete them in 10-15 minutes or less, a decent puzzler should easily have them done in under 20 minutes. The title is no joke: these really are great puzzles for your coffee break. This little book makes a great stocking stuffer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun!, May 27, 2007

Sandy Hanim (Bodrum) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New York Times Crosswords for Your Coffee Break: Light and Easy Puzzles (Paperback)

Since I am a very enthusiastic crossword puzzler and since I live in an area of the world where they are unavailable, it isn't always easy trying to find something you like on-line. The good news is that the N.Y. Times Coffee Break book is EXACTLY what it says it is......I love it! It is easy but not
"brain-less" easy. Yes, the puzzles can be done in a coffee break! I only wish there were more puzzles in the book! I know I will finish the book too quickly. Buy and enjoy!

This review is from: New York Times Crosswords for Your Coffee Break: Light and Easy Puzzles (Paperback)

Well, pretty easy but not THAT easy. Finishing one on a coffee break is probably not something I could always do. They are fun and in a good format.

This crossword book is WAY overpriced. I only bought it to meet the free shipping purchase amount on another item. I really consider it packing material.
