Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book #11 (11)

My wife works on a crossword puzzle almost every night when trying to unwind and get drowsy so she can sleep. Great way to keep her brain active.

Easy to use, fun brain-tickling puzzles

I am a crossword FREAK. I run through three or four a day. The print is large enough that I don't have to squint through my reading glasses, but these books manage to cram BIG puzzles into every page. (Don't you hate those books where the clues are on the verso and the grid on the recto? Especially in spiral bound books!)The perforated pages are heaven sent. I can do a puzzle, tear out the page, flip it over, and do another one. When I'm done with both sides, the page goes in a convenient recycle bin -- another plus, as far as I'm concerned.As for content, the puzzles are just challenging enough for me. There are times when I wish I knew more about golf, but that's certainly not the fault of the author of the puzzle.

Slowly working my way through the series. Can't always finish every puzzle. There's always one or two stumpers for me, sometimes more. I found a series of books that contain the perfect level of puzzles for me. Nice big sized pages. Highly recommend.

These puzzles keep my interest because they offer enough easy solves to encourage me to work through the harder ones. The puzzle makers offer creative and often humorous clues that are entertaining.

There are more of the more difficult puzzles. The newer puzzle books have cut down on the number of more difficult puzzles, which is too bad. I much prefer difficult puzzles.

This is my third book in the Mega Crossword series. I love the fact that each page in this rhick book is perforated for removal. Easy to clip onto a clipboard, and no paging through completed puzzles to find a fresh one. The paper is excellent quality - smooth and easily erasable! I plan to buy several more in the series.

These Mega Crossword books are just the right level for me: challenging but still possible.
