Product Description

What is the person sitting opposite you in a crowded train engrossed in: a Dan Brown thriller, the last "Harry Potter" novel, a complicated text message, a crossword puzzle? No. They're caught up in the greatest craze to strike Britain in many years: Sudoku. Sudoku is a number-placement puzzle played on a square grid. To be successful, a player needs patience and an aptitude for logic (which playing the game helps to develop). You do not need to be good at maths, or a genius at crosswords; you do not need ever to have played the game before. What you do need, though, is "The Little Book of Sudoku", a genuinely pocket-sized book that contains an astonishing 150 puzzles of five levels of difficulty and (for those who need a little help), their answers. Sudoku is completely addictive and has been sweeping the nation since the first puzzle appeared in a newspaper late in 2004. Specifically commissioned for the book, and created by an expert in both logic and artificial intelligence, the 150 puzzles in "The Little Book of Sudoku" will entice the novice, enthral the casual player, and tax the expert. Above all, the book will not only test a reader's skills, but help to develop them to a very high level, while ensuring many hours of captivating, if sometimes frustrating, fun.

Customer Reviews

Superb! Far and away my favourite of the sudoku books.
An excellent book. A huge array of puzzles - twice as many as the times, and I can actually carry it in my pocket. Plus it's cheaper - what more can we ask for. Me and the rest of my colleagues at work love this one - all sudoku fans! Really impressed. About time!

Sudoku at it's best
Completely addictive, you'll not be able to put it down! A really good book, with plenty of Sudoku puzzles and also a good price. If you haven't tried these puzzles yet, get this book and you'll be hooked in no time. The puzzles start off quite easy and get harder. And thank goodness there's a second book, because I've almost finished the first!
P.S It's a handy size so you can fit it in your bag, without it taking up loads of space.

I'd never heard of Sudoku but now I'm engrossed. This friendly little book leads you in gently, then gets tougher. It's challenging but also makes you feel brainy.
