I have a confession to make... I'm a crossword puzzleaholic!!! They both stimulate and calm my mind, so there's pretty much no situation in which I won't sit and do a crossword. I love them on planes, especially.

- These puzzles are the perfect level of difficulty for me. They're not at all easy, but I can finish (or come close to finishing) each puzzle so I get that sense of accomplishment. It's also a ice ego boost, y'know? ;)

- The book has a spiral, which is awesome! SO much easier to prop the book on your knee and solve a few clues when you're not fighting to keep a stiffly bound book open.

- The clues are from this century. Look, I like old movies and classic references as much as the next person, but when you have a puzzle book that mixes references from multiple decades, clues like "star of a top cop show" lose all meaning. The clues in this book are current enough to make sense without being reliant on abhorrent things like reality stars or gossip columns.

Beware: Some people are obsessed with the type of paper their puzzles come on. This is pretty cheap old-school color booking-type paper. Rough and beige in color. It's fairly flimsy, but I don't mind it at all. After all, I'm not framing my tiny mental masterpieces!

All in all a great book and I'll be buying more in the series!

These puzzles are rated medium difficulty (which I consider to mean hard for most non-addicts), and modern, which means lots of puns, plays on words, and misleading (but actually fair) clues. (Example: "Got milk?" in Persian -- Meow.) There is normally a themed "long answers" subject, although some are just potpourri. I personally like this style of puzzle a lot, because these clever clues give you a chance to keep thinking and work out the answer, rather than forcing you into a situation where you simply don't know the answer to some obscure factual question. I would say this is a very good puzzle book for someone who likes puzzles for the adventure and the intellectual fun.

Typical Sunday Los Angeles Times crosswords. If you look forward to the Sunday puzzles, and don't want to wait seven days for the next one, this would be a good collection for you. 200 puzzles (with answers, of course) in a paperback format. My only complaint is with the binding. The puzzles would be MUCH easier to do if the book were spiral bound rather than the normal paperback binding. This makes it extremely hard to fill in the spaces near the spine while at the same time keeping the cover and other pages out of your way.

Clever, witty and doable for one not awfully brilliant! References to pop culture sometimes elude me but the answers frequently appear when enough words are filled in. I've been doing the puzzles by these people for so many years that I remember when the quality of the paper was much better and that makes a difference. Many times I cannot tell if a letter is an i or an l (as in deli or dell) even with a magnifying glass! But my love affair with these two people still holds and I keep ordering - I have begun to keep a record of the ones I have completed so that I won't do one over again too soon after completing it. I'm sure that I could turn around and redo one and not know the difference as it takes a while to complete 200 puzzles!

Of course the cross words are of excellent quality. But the size of the print of the clues is very small. Please note that a lot of senior citizens do cross words and they prefer to read the clues on a larger size. The LA Times cross words volume 2,6 etc had larger size.

The only issue I have with this is the sometimes difficult to read print. But then I'm a senior, so for someone younger this might not be a problem.

I read complaints about the paper quality, but this is a book that will head to the recycling bin as soon as I'm through with it, so the paper is fine and doesn't absorb the ink. For those who use pencils it's fine too.
The puzzles vary from quite simple to moderately difficult. Occasionally I find the topical answers pretty dumb but that's simply a personal opinion and shouldn't stop anybody from buying this.
All in all, it's helped keep me sane while recovering from multiple trauma.

The last LA Times puzzle book I bought had the puzzle at the top of the page, whereas this one has it at the bottom. This makes it really hard for me to fill in the lower 1/3 of the crossword, since I don't have anything to rest my hand or wrist on. I never realized how important this design feature was until now. Other than that, I like the puzzles. I do them in bed to help quiet my mind so I can sleep.

I couldn't decide between this book and the Weekend Picnic Crosswords book as a gift, so I ordered both. The other one won hands down. This one has really cheap paper and the pages hang down below the cover. The puzzles may be okay, but the Weekend Picnic book offered so much more. In the answer section, it gave little tidbits of information regarding some of the answers and provided the author of the puzzle. This one is bare bones. I would not give this as a gift to anyone, so I will probably return it if I can.
