Summary: The Hardest Crosswords You'll Ever See
Review: I bought this book because I'm a huge fan of Mr. Lederer's work.Little did I know it would destroy me! The rules are a bit unclear in parts, however. While most of the puzzles are made of rhymes and puns, not every word in the puzzle falls into these categories. Sometimes you may be searching for the rhyme of your solution for an hour, then realize no rhyme is required. It may not be for me, as I don't spend too much time with crosswords. However, if you consider yourself rather agile with your vocabulary, or a master of puns, this book will be a true test of your skill.

Summary: I expected better!
Review: Serious puzzle solvers should probably stay clear of this one. Its cleverness is a bit too sophmoric; the definitions are too often imprecise; and there are too many surprising errors contained within. On the whole I found the experience annoying and couldn't wait to finish the book and throw it away.
