5.0 out of 5 stars "Guardian" Cryptic Crosswords Setters Series : Gordius, 12 Nov 2007

By	Mr. P. D. Roberts "puzzle haven" (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The "Guardian" Cryptic Crosswords Setters Series: Gordius (Paperback)

This book is for genuine crossword enthusiasts and, as such, the clues are challenging which is great. They are also extremely well constructed and are a delight to get your teeth into. I thoroughly recommend this for anyone who loves crosswords.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle but testing , 14 Jan 2009

By	R. J. Hobson (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The "Guardian" Cryptic Crosswords Setters Series: Rufus (Paperback)

As a devotee of the Guardian's cryptic crossword for nearly 20 years, I find their weekly selection nearly always runs the gamut between gently engaging and fiendishly impenetrable. Sitting nearer to the gentle side of the equation is Rufus. In my experience, he's reasonably faithful to the classic Ximenean rules and is rarely so obscure that you have to go running to Google or the dictionary. Perfect for enthusiasts who want an enjoyable romp rather than a teeth-grinding hour of agony.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard and clever clues, 25 Jun 2009

By	D. Smith (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The "Guardian" Cryptic Crosswords Setters Series: Rufus (Paperback)

I've worked through the puzzles by Rufus and Gordius. Both compilers have provided some clever and amusing clues which can provide hours, in fact days, of entertainment. I preferred those by Rufus. They are a little easier and often witty. Some of those by Gordius have obscure solutions -- rare words, place names and so on -- which it seems to me require rather specialist knowledge.
