100 Large-Print Crossword Puzzles: Easy Puzzles To Entertain Your Brain – Book Review
What have you been doing to keep your brain occupied during these past few weeks? Recently, I’ve rediscovered the joy of doing crosswords with the arrival of Chris King’s 100 Large-Print Crossword Puzzles: Easy Puzzles To Entertain Your Brain at my home!
This is the perfect book for someone like me who enjoys doing a crossword puzzle that’s not too easy and not too hard but challenging enough that some of the answers come readily and some of the answers require a stretch of the imagination to arrive at the answer. The puzzles are also the perfect length for those who want to relax and occupy their minds for awhile but who don’t want to spend hours on end pouring over a difficult puzzle!
There are so many things that I like about this book. First and foremost, the puzzles are large print! Not only are they easy to see, but there is plenty of room to write your answers in (and to make corrections in the box if you need to!)
Next, the book is printed on quality paper – not the cheap, recycled stuff that makes my skin crawl – so it is a true pleasure to sit down and use this book (and know that if I need to erase something, my page won’t smear and tear!)
Finally, the book and puzzles themselves are well designed. Each puzzle has a theme that contains two clues that reflect that theme (hint: they are usually the longest answers in the puzzle!) There are tips in the beginning of the book to get you started if it’s been awhile since you’ve done a crossword. And, the answer key in the back of the book is in random order (which makes it difficult to “accidentally’ peek at the answers!)
All in all, this is a fabulous crossword puzzle book for most puzzle lovers and especially those who are looking for a large print book. I highly recommend this book to you!
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Stock up on eraseable pens too ! (Also available on Amazon)
Could sure use some = I’ve been doing mine in pen (not cause I’m a crossword genius – but because I’m out of pencils!)
It has been so long since I have done a crossword puzzle. I am sure I would appreciate the larger font. I wonder if I would find them as relaxing as I once did. I like a challenge but not the frustration.
I would encourage you to give these a try Laura – I found this book fun, not frustrating! 🙂
I do 2 crossword puzzles every night on my phone before I go to sleep while laying in bed. Helps to relax me. However, I use to buy those big thick crossword books, loved them.
