1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: These Are NOT Hard Crossword Puzzles!!!, December 30, 2005

Robert Slocum (STAMFORD, CT USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The New York Times Super Saturday Crosswords: The Hardest Crossword of the Week (Paperback)

I was completely disappointed in this book. It is quite possible that these puzzles ran on Saturdays in 1993 and 1994, as the copyright notation indicates. They are not, however, remotely in a league with the current Saturday level of difficulty. This is deceptive advertising at its most crass. It reflects very poorly on the editor, Will Shortz (who currently edits the NYT puzzles and surely knows that what I am saying is true), on the Times itself, and on Amazon, which ought to stop selling this slim but nevertheless sleazy volume.

This review is from: The New York Times Super Saturday Crosswords: The Hardest Crossword of the Week (Paperback)

If you need brain gymnastics to get you going in the morning, this book will give you the hardest of the NY Times crosswords. Most are very hard, a few less so, but all satisfying.
