Amazon.com Review

Variety is the name of this selection of games from the versatile pages of Games Magazine. Along with the usual crossword puzzles and anacrostics you'll find a number of brilliant variations, clever twists on cryptograms and a wealth of unpigeon-holeable bits of puzzlement that will keep you entertained through many a long wait, slow weekend or relaxing evening. Some are tricky, so keep an eraser handy and open that ink pen at your own risk.

Nice array of puzzles in this book. I have enjoyed it and recommend it to other puzzle lovers who may get bored with the same thing all the time.

1.0 out of 5 stars *Not* Large-Print!

I'm sure it's a great collection - I'm a huge Will Shortz fan - but this book is incorrectly catalogued as Large-Print in the title (Games Magazine Presents Best Pencil Puzzles [Large Print] [Paperback]). I purchased this as a gift based on that description, and am sorely disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good variety, but way, way, way too easy
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2011
It is true that this puzzle book has a wide variety of puzzles. However, they are all painfully easy. Lovers of Games Magazine, and Games World of Puzzles Magazine are familiar with the 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star difficulty ratings. 95% of these puzzles are at the 1-star difficulty. The remaining 5% are struggling up to 1 1/2 stars. If you enjoy easy puzzles, this one's definitely for you. If, however, you enjoy being even moderately challenged, please save your money. Otherwise you will be as disappointed as I.
