Book Reviews of The New York Times Will Shortz's Funniest Crossword Puzzles : From the Pages of The New York Times
Book Review: A Pet Peeve
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoy puzzles with a funny or punny theme, but many, many of these puzzles contain a pet peeve of mine. I much prefer that the longer theme answers be self-contained to give a decent chance of solving them; in this book, however, the theme answers are all part of a single quote, or even worse, a made-up quip. Half the fun of solving a themed puzzle is figuring out what the theme IS, then solving each clue. I would say about half of these puzzles have clues that consist of "Quip, part 1" or whatever. Boring!
