 My rating March 29, 2008
I've done a lot of cryptic puzzles. These are too dry in their clues. Many others that I have been challenged by are more "playful" or "cute" in their unraveling. The Mensa book, Frank Rich's of The Nation magazine to name 2 were much more fun.
These are just plain hard and don't give me nearly the same sense of pleasure doing them.
Maybe it's a British thing.
 More Challenging than Traditional Crossword Puzzles January 2, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was purchased for my husband who is an avid crossword puzzle fan. He does them in several different newspapers daily - in pen - and completes them. However, he seemed a little intimidated by this particular book and style of puzzle. I notice he picks it up every once in a while and does one - but he doesn't seem to enjoy the challenge as much as I thought he might! So, if your crossword puzzle lover is used to the New York Times crossword puzzles and such, you may be better off to stick with those.
