Not Fiendish (1/1 people found this helpful)
I am very disappointed by this book. I've reached puzzle 150 without using any advanced solving techniques at all. If you want truly fiendish sudoku, I recommend Wayne Gould's books.

My son bought both my husband and I a copy of The Times fiendish Sudoku as he couldn't stand us copying out the grids to try the same one on wee scrappy bits of paper with squiggly lines. That was brilliant thinking and has kept us happy through many a long wait in airport terminals.That was about a year ago and we have now sadly finished the book.(Dont do it every by the way) What joy when we discovered there were books 2 and 3! Who cares if the plane is delayed anymore!
Fiendish Su Doku 2 (5/5 people found this helpful)
Another great collection. The difficulty seems similar to the first Fiendish collection and the same format of 180 Fiendish and 20 Super Fiendish. The puzzles get harder as you progress through the book. That may seem odd if you expect all Fiendish to be similar but it's true. Approaching puzzle number 150 I was thinking it had been fairly straightforward so far with no triples. Then on puzzle 150 I noted the first one, an open triple. I noted another triple on puzzle 153.
I have been doing the Fiendish and Super Fiendish puzzles that appear in The Times at the end of each week. The ones in the paper almost always seem a lot easier than the ones that appear later in this book.
If you are thinking "why should I buy this book if I can get my fix with the harder puzzles that appear in the paper (which I can get from the website if I don't want to buy a paper)?" then think again. If you are up for the challenge, some of the Fiendish in this book are harder than the Super Fiendish in the paper. As for the Super Fiendish, they do live up to their name!
