Poor printing quality
Great puzzle book, but the quality of the print is horrible. The grid lines on most of the puzzles are barely there. Obviouly too mass-produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Long Last
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013

A book of light and easy puzzles which is just that. The clues make sense and are appropriate to the word answers. I will suggest that these puzzles are suited to a certain advanced age, education and some modest experience with foreign languages. What was most fun for me, however, was romping through the puzzle wherever the solution word led and this was not always in a straight line, left to right. And then there was the pleasure of successfully filling in the last empty squares somewhere in the middle. And lest you think that I found this too easy, there were often blocs that required more thought and a later return for solution. And alas, there were a few that with my head hanging in shame sent me to the printed solution at the back. Sigh...

5.0 out of 5 stars Just right for me

I consider myself a beginning to intermediate NY Times crossword fan. I've bought other NY Times book and have been frustrated by the fact that what Will Shortz considers "easy" I consider difficult or impossible. Not so with this book. I'm finding that the puzzles, while challenging, are all "doable".

2.0 out of 5 stars Not "easy" like a Monday or Tuesday
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

I have no idea who described these crossword puzzles as "easy" but I don't recommend this book. As a regular NYT Monday/Tuesday crossword player, these games ("Easy") should have been about the same level of difficulty. No! They are extremely difficult; we can't even play them. Miserable.

I have a feeling that these might be decades-old crossword puzzles that are being recycled.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's big, it's a book, it's easy, and they're crosswords.

I'm not an avid crossword puzzler, so even though these are easy, they still make me work for it. I'm not a huge fan of the texture of the paper- it's that grainy kind you find in paperbacks. Fine for books to read, not great to write on. Good crosswords, though.

Bought as a Christmas present for someone who has left, but have done a few and they are very easy for me. Somewhat harder for another person in the house whose first language is not English. Still, good.
