Customer Reviews

Hooked!!!

I got all three volumes. They are great. It starts you out slow and gets you to the harder stuff. I loved all three. If your not sure how it is done these books walk you through it. I got myself a set and a friend who thought she wouldn't be able to learn. Now she's hooked. They're great.

Perfect for Beginners

This book is very good for beginners. It begins with small puzzles. My [...] son enjoys completing the 4x4 and 6x6 puzzles. The puzzles become larger and more complicated as the book continues. Don't be intimidated by the 16x16 puzzles...they are much easier than they look.

Excellent selection..

This is a great book for both beginners and experts since it overs a wide variety of puzzles.. There are hundreds and they get increasingly harder.. The book is a nice size so easy to bring along. I often stick it along and take it to work everyday as it's the perfect thing to do on a long train ride.

Family Fun

I have been doing Sudoku puzzles for years, long before I even knew what they were called and way before they became a national craze! There were usually one or two puzzles in a magazine of variety games. I couldn't get enough, so I was happy to find a book of just Sudoku puzzles! Turns out this book is not just for me, but also for my 8-year old son and my husband who are just beginners! There are puzzles in this book for every skill level and instructions for the beginner. This book is a great introduction to Sudoku!

Great fun and a great way to learn logic!

I had heard about Sudoku previously, but never attempted to do any of the puzzles. Until I saw this book. I picked it up and started working on it with the mind's eye, and realized it was interesting so I bought it. The book starts with mini-Sudoku's - 4 by 4 grids that only are numbered 1-4 (4 sub-grids in all, 16 total numbers). Then goes to a 6 by 6 grid (6 sub-grids numbers from 1-6) and then the more typical 9 by 9 grid. I found the exercises in the mini-Sudoku's useful in getting used to these puzzles. And I appreciated that these were included in the book. Diving into a 9x9 grid may have been too much to start, and made it less fun. The mini-Sudoku's are also great for younger kids, especially in using it to teach them how to use logic. I think I'm hooked!
