4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Hard as I'd Like, September 18, 2002

This is a great book, but it's not quite hard enough. I live in Los Angeles and the LA Times crossword doesn't hold a candle to the NY Times for difficulty. I bought this book hoping for more of a challenge, but am finishing it way too fast. I'd have loved more puzzles with symbol/picture answers or answers where you have to squeeze an entire word into one box. There are a few of those here, but mostly straightforward puzzles. I think it's probably challenging enough for the average puzzler, but if you're a die-hard puzzle fan, you might be bored.

This volume, like its predecessors, I suppose, is filled with wonderfully challenging crossword puzzles from The New York Times. It's a great companion at the airport, waiting in the doctor's office, or at your state's Department of Motor Vehicles because you are completely absorbed with each puzzle.
