Not a bad crossword puzzle book

Pretty good crossword puzzle book, though of varying difficult. Some are "meh," others really quite entertaining.

Just "Okay"

It was tough to see where Reagle was going in some of his puzzles; usually I don't have trouble finishing crossword puzzles, but I haven't yet completed a puzzle in this book. Kind of disappointing.

O.K. puzzles

Not as much fun or as witty as his New York Observer puzzles...slightly disappointed. I am not familiar with his Washington Post puzzles; those who are should know what to expect.

Great crossword puzzles.

I love Merl Reagle's crosswords. They always challenge me and I truly enjoy his twisted sense of humor.
Don't forget that there's always a clue in the comment at the top.
