Fifty themed puzzles cover everything from Elvis films to license plate slogans, and they’re a must for every trivia junkie and the perfect way to practice for sessions of Trivial Pursuit (or, for the more ambitious, becoming a contestant on Jeopardy!).

Keeps my dad busy for hours. He particularly likes the full size pages and the puzzle creator. He is always sharing clever clues he likes with me.

I ordered this after trying many different crossword books. The AARP books have never disappointed me. They help to keep the mind sharp without the frustration of not being able to figure it out. These are not what I would consider Easy, but are in the intermediate category. I would recommend this is anyone looking for a challenge without the nail biting frustration. Enjoy.

Hard!

I have several of Stanley Newman's crossword books and really like them, but this one is really difficult. I mean, yes, I could look up many of the answers on google, but I prefer not to do that. The quality of the book: the spiral binding, puzzles being on one page, nice paper, are all very nice. In order not to just throw it away, I answered what I could and just moved on to the next one until I finished the whole book, and then I said "good riddance"!

I'm usually bored with crosswords that are too easy

I'm usually bored with crosswords that are too easy...but these are ridiculous. Way too much knowledge needed in very specific subjects. Not a whole lot of fun...feel this I just went back to college.
