Book Reviews of The New York Times Will Shortz's Funniest Crossword Puzzles: From the Pages of The New York Times
Book Review: Neither clever, nor funny.
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Will Shortz and was really looking forward to this book, thinking that it would be chock full of clever clues like one of my favorites...a 5 letter word that means a button on an alley. Instead this is a book of crosswords that has puns and boring riddles/quotes/jokes within the answers. And a button on an alley? Reset!(For those unfamiliar with sedentary team sports, this refers to a bowling alley.) I wish I could find a book of clever crosswords!

Summary of The New York Times Will Shortz's Funniest Crossword Puzzles: From the Pages of The New York Times
Yes, crossword puzzles can be funny. Not surprisingly, puzzle solvers and creators alike share a love of wordplay, puns, and verbal trickery of all kinds. For example, have you heard of the famous Egyptian actress? It's Mia Pharaoh of course. And what do you call a workaholic's memoir? It's a Love of Labor. Here, New York Times crossword puzzle editor Will Shortz selects the fifty puzzles out of the thousands he's edited that are most likely to make readers chuckle, chortle, moan or groan. Also included is an introduction on crossword humor from Will Shortz.General Books
