In chapters 1 through 7 the author teaches us, step-by-step, a system "that functions quite well for solving most Sudoku puzzles." In chapter 8 he carefully teaches us, step-by-step, a refinement of that system he has found, by his own experience, to be more efficient. In chapter 10, he solves one Sudoku puzzle using his chapter 1-7 system and another using his chapter 8 refinement of that system, going through every step. I started out as a know-nothing about Sudoku, but after reading his book I am able to solve Sudoku puzzles of all difficulty levels. I rate the book especially highly in the clarity of its exposition and am pleased to have been taught the author's refined (chapter 8) system. -- Stephen A. Williams
