5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!, March 30, 2005

By	daniella isaacs (NYC) - See all my reviews

These puzzles are absolutely hilarious! Yet again, I'm blown away by the exquisite surprises, twists and turns. I've been stumped on a few of them for a few days now, but I'm not giving up! Shortz is, hands down, a genius. Try your hand at the masterful art within these pages, and enjoy the furrowed brow and laughs!

4.0 out of 5 stars More Fun than Formidable, February 3, 2009

By	Karen Bock-Losee (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Oh where oh where are the crosswords that really make you THINK? I've been breezing through these and enjoying them, but I prefer a bit of a struggle.
