good collection

The reason I chose this book over others, is for its variations of sudoku. I was originally introduced to sudoku years ago, in the book "MENSA Math & Logic Puzzles" by Dave Tuller and Michael Rios. Since this was published before sudoku became so popular, it is called by the name "Number Place". In addition to the standard sudoku, the MENSA book has great variations--not all sections are 3x3, but rather irregularly shaped (some like puzzle pieces, but still 9x9 grid). After enjoying those, when sudoku exploded, I got bored with the standard 9x9 grid really fast, so it was great to see a book (this one) with a variation on the original. Here is a warning, though: the 16x16 games take FOREVER and require a lot of patience to do it methodically. (The 9x9 grids have 81 squares, the 16x16 have 256--more than 3x as many squares.)

Sudoku Addict!

Well ever since June when I was in a cast and stuck on the couch for a few months I have become an absolute addict to sudoku. The first series of the For Dummies books was the first one I got and so far they have all been consistently great. It is a nice mix of different levels of puzzles. Get all 3!
