A great book! Dec 05, 2005
By Megan Romer The thing about crossword puzzles is that even hard-core fans sometimes like to do an easy and fun puzzle. These ones are great. An excellent puzzler should be able to complete them in 10-15 minutes or less, a decent puzzler should easily have them done in under 20 minutes. The title is no joke: these really are great puzzles for your coffee break. This little book makes a great stocking stuffer!

Great Fun! May 28, 2007
By Sandy Hanim Since I am a very enthusiastic crossword puzzler and since I live in an area of the world where they are unavailable, it isn't always easy trying to find something you like on-line. The good news is that the N.Y. Times Coffee Break book is EXACTLY what it says it is......I love it! It is easy but not
"brain-less" easy. Yes, the puzzles can be done in a coffee break! I only wish there were more puzzles in the book! I know I will finish the book too quickly. Buy and enjoy!

easy crosswords Mar 21, 2006
By L. Kimura Well, pretty easy but not THAT easy. Finishing one on a coffee break is probably not something I could always do. They are fun and in a good format.

Light and Easy Puzzles Jan 04, 2007
By Avid Reader
"Linda"
I find crosswords a way to relax and the Light and Easy series are just that. Not too hard, but engaging enough to keep me interested. The size of the puzzles makes it easy to finish one relatively quickly. The book size is convenient for carrying around. The expert crossword addict may find these too easy, but for the rest of us the Light and Easy series are fun. Great airplane/airport activity.

Easy puzzles, but still make you think Jan 09, 2009
By V. Sowell I enjoy this crossword puzzle book because the puzzles CAN be solved - and finished! I can't finish a NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle without help and that's frustrating. These puzzles are quick and easy, but still make you think. I keep the book in my car to use at times when I have to wait.
