Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Like all the best puzzlers, Sudoku is fiendishly simple. The game is composed of a 9 x 9 grid with a few preselected numbers entered. Players add numbers and the only rule is that each row and column must include each number from one to nine exactly once. True Sudoku puzzles — like the ones presented in this book — have only one correct answer. Meaning "single number" in Japanese, Sudoku puzzles help teach logic and math skills, while imparting greater patience. Not only that, but they're great for trips or long waits, and the book's handy 5" x 5" format makes it easy to take it anywhere. Complete with three skill levels and hints, Sudoku is perfect for anyone who wants to start sharpening their logic while enjoying an addictive game.

3.0 out of 5 stars The sudoku book, September 7, 2005

By	K. Thompson (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sudoku Book: An Introduction to Su Doku with 101 Puzzles (Paperback)

The book is too small. It is convenient to carry in your purse, but I prefer puzzles that are about 8" tall so there is room to sketch in numbers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat puzzle package - lot of fun, July 16, 2005

By	Philip Jenks (Boston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sudoku Book: An Introduction to Su Doku with 101 Puzzles (Paperback)

I bought this because I'd heard so much about Sudoku, and wondered what the fuss was. Heck - I guess one Sudoku book is much like another, and I can't tell you whether this is any better than the other books, but I can tell you that it's a totally compelling craze. I spent nearly the whole of a transatlantic flight with my nose in this book, and was utterly absorbed. It has a nice balance of Easy, Medium and Fiendish puzzles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sudoku For Travelers, September 4, 2005

By	H. Price Kagey "pkagey" (San diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Sudoku Book: An Introduction to Su Doku with 101 Puzzles (Paperback)

Very convenient size for those of us who live on planes and trains. The 'tips' section does not go into much as detail as other puzzle books that discuss "twins", etc. Puzzles are ranked from easy to difficult. A nice first Sudoku book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Book for Sodoku beginners
Great puzzles divided into four sections (easy, medium, hard and very hard). I think some of the puzzles are in the wrong sections but all are fun and challenging!
