Just play sudoku and you'll figure it out on your own.

[Sparrow .]

Why did I read this book? It’s elegantly designed, like a French novel, has big print, and is very LOGICAL. Of course, I was hoping it would improve my sudoku game, but I noticed no effect on my number-reasoning skills. (Also, I didn’t read "How to solve" in one sitting; it may have taken me two years, in 15 minute snatches.) Opening the book at random:

*we can now put 8 in cell “He;”
*the only possibility for cell “Bi” is 9, and we can also put 9 in cell “Aa;”
*the only possibility for cell “Ab” is 3.

This really could stand alone as a poem.

Das Buch umfasst lediglich die Grundlagen, um Sudokus zu loesen und ist hauptsechlich fuer Beginner geeignet, da tiefergreifende Einblicke in die Moeglichkeiten ausgeblendet und nicht erwaehnt werden.
Das Buch ist ganz gut geschrieben, entspricht jedoch nicht meinen Erwartungen.

Helpful and very useful tricks. Small book.

Twins and triplets is something I had no idea about. Definitely elevated my puzzling.

First, this book does not contain 52 methods for solving Soduku puzzles — essentially, it contains, maybe, six. There are 52 "chapters" but.... Having said that, if you've not worked a Soduku puzzle or you have worked them but haven't figured out a systematic way to work Soduku puzzles, then this is a good book. On the other hand, if you already scan rows and columns, if you know the significance of doubles and triples in rows/columns/boxes, if you already eliminate impossibles, then this book is not for you.

I didn't find this all that great. Maybe I need to read it again. There were a couple interesting ideas but I think there are probably better ones out there.
