Fun Stuff
You have to think so it's a good thing and something to entertain and or keep you occupied especially on long trips.
Good, with some flaws
I was challenged and happy with this book of sudoku until I reached the special "Giant Sudoku" section at the end. This section features a 12x12 sudoku grid in which you are meant to fill in the numbers 1-12. However, the initial setup includes the number 13 in all puzzles!
Other than that, the book provides a nice ramp up from easy to challenging.
Great book!
This is one of the first books I tried when first learning to do Sudoku puzzles. It is an excellent one, with good sized puzzles, somewhat difficult for a novice, but that is the challenge! I would definitely recommend it!
