Su Doku for Dummies (Sudoku) review:3 stars (OK, basic introduction to really neat logic puzzles) - Good introduction to SuDoku but lacked depth on techniques for solving more advanced puzzles.4 stars (Great intro to Su Doku with helpful instructions) - This is a good book if you are new work Su Doku puzzles. It has good definitions of terms, but it also has a few typos in the instructions which caused some confusion. I had to reread the sections a couple of times before I understood what was being said. However, once past that, I was able to begin working the puzzles. A good variety of easy, medium and difficult puzzles. I am not too please with the paper content; it does not hold up well to eraser marks. 5 stars (A Good Book to Start Solving SUDOKUS) -
I first came across SUDOKU in May of this year.I have been a puzzle enthusiast since I was in High School ,over 55 years ago;and have seen a myriad of puzzles and games come and go.I really have no favorites as I enjoy them all.From the time I completed my first SUDOKU,I knew there was something different and special about these puzzles.No special knowledge or special abilities are required for anyone of any language,skill or age to do this puzzle.This is similar to Jigsaws and Crosswords;and the reason these puzzles have become universally popular,probably outstripping all other types of puzzes.I believe we will soon see speed competitions taking various forms including TV.
Checking out the Books available,I found a few already published,and without doubt there will be a flood of them in the near future.You will see among my reviews,a few others I have checked out.
This book is just as good as the others to get you started.It covers the basic methods and hints to help you solve them. In addition,it gives you 240 SUDOKU puzzles. In all fairness,to date ,there is not really much to pick and choose among the half dozen books at this time.However,I would not at all be surprised to see more books shortly;describing more sophistophed and speed enhancing methods and hints.
In the meantime ,you should find SUDOKU puzzles in your local newspapers.To date, I have not seen any SUDOKU magazines on the shelves,but expect to see lots of them shortly.
Don't overlook the Net though,there is lots of good stuff by searching under SUDOKU.
In the meantime ,GOOD SUDOKUING!
