Some reviews:

"This is the best book I have ever read on how to solve Sudoku puzzles and I have read them all. I had reached a plateau and couldn’t seem to solve anything beyond just the medium newspaper puzzles. Now, after reading your book, I have been working hard and difficult puzzles. Your illustrations and strategy presentations are fantastic. Never do I attempt working on a puzzle without your book by my side. It has become my bible and I would be lost without it. I would definitely recommend this book to any student of Sudoku who wants to advance their knowledge of either basic or advanced Sudoku solving techniques."

"There are a number of good books that teach the basics of Sudoku. But there are very few that take you past the elementary ideas - and the ones I've seen are hard to understand. Here's a book that goes from the simplest level to the most complex - and it's easy to understand because of the diagrams! I highly recommend it."
