Product description

From the Author

Are you stuck on sudoku puzzles -- or would like to solve them more easily? This step-by-step guide shows you how to do so, starting with simple puzzles and progressing gradually to much harder ones. Unlike some of its more unwieldy competitors, it is slimline form (suitable for your pocket or handbag), is printed on good quality paper, and costs less than £5. The explanations are very clear throughout, using a convenient notation that makes the book much more readable than some other books on the subject. Sudoku can be a lot of fun -- I hope you'll find that this book makes it even more so.

    Wer schon einige Sudokus selbst gelöst hat, und die "Tricks" nicht selbst innerhalb der ersten beiden Stunden gefunden hat, sollte lieber eine andere Beschäftigung suchen. Andere Bücher bringen wenigstens für weniger Geld eine Menge neuer Rätsel. Ich war enttäuscht und habe das Buch verschenkt.

    3.0 out of 5 stars No "brilliant ideas", but reasonably priced for such a short and cheap content

    PROS

    - cheap and convenient price, just below $4 for the Kindle edition.
    - good enough if you're really a beginner or just want to see someone else's perspective in solving Sudoku, for a reasonable price.
    - 4-5 easy to medium annotated games over several chapters, each followed by 5-6 puzzles offered as practice (with simple final solutions).
    - presented solving a same puzzle from different perspectives.

    CONS

    - unfortunate misleading "(52 Brilliant Ideas)" suffix added to the title, when these are rather (very) small chapters in the book. As an example, "brilliant idea" #44 looks like this: "44. The completed grid. The finished puzzle looks like this." followed by a full solution grid image (discussed in the previous ...hmm... "idea"), with nothing else :)
    - just for beginners and very small.
    - few chapters(/"ideas") wasted on too basic info about Sudoku history, Sudoku on computers, Sudoku variations, Latin squares and other less meaningful information in the context, given you find all this (and way more) for free on Wikipedia and other Sudoku websites. They actually looked like simply copied from Wikipedia...
    - not enough explanation on some "moves". Too many "and now the remaining 1 must be in cell Bb", "the remaining 8s must be in cell Ai" etc. Why commenting a game if you state so much the obvious?

    I have been doing Sudoku compulsively for a couple months with two other books. I thought I would be pretty good until I got to X-Wing and Swordfish. I went through this entire book in two days and loved it. It does something none of the other books do. It teaches the basics of logic and takes you through every step so that you can make sure you understand it. If you are a beginner get this book first and don't even look at anything else. If you are stuck at finding hidden triples, X-wings, and Swordfish get this book. This book restores my belief that Sudoku is a logic puzzle and not just some braniacs trying to prove how brilliant they are. Skip the fancy stuff and have fun and after some therapy with this book, go back to the fancy stuff.

    I never like giving negative reviews but the author is on YouTube and wrote this book. He is a mathematician and a professor. His very basic sample sudokus are easy to follow. However, everything goes down hill from there. He creates the samples that “he” knows how to solve. That is not helpful at all for the sudoku book that I purchased on Amazon, which goes from easy to challenging. You cannot take solving his puzzle and compare it with any other when you are first learning. Every puzzle has unique challenges so some of his preliminary tips are useful but that’s it. Either you are innately logical or are good at math to move forward. I donated the book.
