Here it comes: a revolution in sudoku solving! This is by far the most complete guide to cracking these addictive puzzles ever produced, with tricks even the experts won’t know. While most books might have a few pages of introduction before proceeding straight to the sudokus, this one covers it all. Hidden pairs, naked pairs, X-wings, jellyfish, squirmbag, bivalue and bilocation graphs, turbot fish, grid coloring, chains: every single one is here, and much more too, including the exclusive Gordonian logic methods (Gordonian rectangles and Gordonian polygons) that will turn even the hardest puzzles into a breeze. Of course, there are hundreds of sudoku for practice. A very special addition: a reprint of the very first sudoku ever published in 1979, from Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games magazine!

Summary: Good tips
Comment: It teaches good methods but it's rather skimpy on explanations; 90% of the book is more puzzles. I guess if I read carefully the ad, the main ingredient is 100's of puzzles...
Poor quality of binding, pages come loose easily.

Summary: Excellent for advanced techniques
Comment: This book has helped me learn new methods for solving some of the harder Sudoku puzzles that have in the past required me to do a "what-if" to break a dead lock. Many of the techniques I already knew, though not by any name, but some of the advanced techniques were totally new to me and help round out my solving skills. Plus there's a lot of good puzzles in the book to practice these techniques.

Summary: Sudoku
Comment: Wow, on the more difficult puzzles this has been helpful. On my own before purchasing this book I had figured out how to solve many puzzles on my own. This has shown me some shortcuts to use and allows me to practice. Great book, one I would say is worth the money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Well Written
Comment: This is a good book to learn Sudoku strategies. Good examples and easy to understand. I believe that no one book will give you everything that you need to know and that you should have 2 or 3 books on the subject to get a good understanding. This should be one of those books. I also have Extreme Sudoku for Dummies and between the two it has helped me a lot.

Summary: More than you ever wanted to know about Sudoku
Comment: My husband became addicted to Sudoku in Summer 2008 and soon thereafter infected me. We work (individually) on the puzzle published daily in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This book has a wealth of information about analysis and techniques including some for puzzle situations so rare and exotic they might never be encountered in a lifetime. The explanations are very clear and easy to follow but the book has shortcomings as to format and layout. I would much have preferred to have the explanation of a particular diagram on the same page with the graphic itself rather than having to flip the page back and forth to follow the steps. The book also has hundreds of puzzles to work on, for those for whom once a day is just not enough.
