Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book #17 (17) (S&S Mega Crossword Puzzles) Paperback – September 5, 2017

Love the fact that some I can complete easily and others I have to work at.

Crossword puzzles are proven to improve brain function, memory, and knowledge. It's like a Jeopardy round on paper with subjects like: geography, literature, history, science, sports, movies, tv, food, politics, pop culture, etc. There's also the satisfaction of finishing one (answers are in the back just in case!) Each book has 300 puzzles, keeping you busy every day for nearly a year. I've ordered 22 of them over the years. True story. Please give this review a "heart" if it helped!

Great variety of crossword puzzles

I was slightly disappointed that the pages did not tear out easily and at times damaged the backside puzzle.

They do get harder as you go along, but I do love working on them.

These mega crossword books are just the right level for me: challenging (they make me think) but still possible.

I've bought several of these for my husband, an avid crossword puzzle solver. They last quite a while, even for him. Much better than buying the smaller ones at the drug store or Walmart. And, they seem to be the right level, not too easy, not too hard.

For those of us tired of overly easy puzzles found in store racks, this book offers some moderately challenging to progressively more difficult puzzles. I liked the larger sizes of the puzzles as well as not having to deal with the spine (each page is perforated, allowing easy removal). This being my first Simon & Schuster crossword puzzle book, I am happy to know there are 16 previous books, which should keep me busy for years! This book has 300 puzzles and is a bargain. Five stars.
