Reviews

"A book of Fireball Crosswords? Oh, no, what a terrible idea. I need to have a week or two in between these puzzles, or else I'd be unable to get anything else done--they're that addictive. Readers, hear me: Ration yourselves!"
-Jon Delfin, seven-time American Crossword Puzzle Tournament champion "Peter Gordon has a remarkable talent for tough (sometimes very tough) but fair cluing. His Fireball Crosswords are inevitably challenging and original. These are some great puzzles--I wish every puzzle editor aspired to this level of quality."
-Eric Berlin, author of The Puzzling World of Winston Breen "Peter Gordon's Fireball Crosswords are among the very few that I solve regularly just for fun. I enjoy both the tough themelesses and the sparklingly innovative themes that Gordon and his constructing crew consistently come up with."
-Stanley Newman, crossword editor, Newsday

"These ain't your grandma's crosswords--unless your grandma is awesome and likes awesome puzzles."
-Brian Cimmet, Lollapuzzoola co-director "I like my puzzles devilishly hard. So I thank Satan for Peter Gordon and Fireball Crosswords, the toughest, cleverest puzzles under the sun."
-Lou Kesten, The Associated Press


"These are daring, first-rate puzzles. They are fresh, smart, and contemporary, and they go places that newspaper puzzles don't, won't, or can't. Every serious crossword enthusiast I know is a Fireball subscriber. If you want to know what the cutting edge of crossword construction in America looks like, just open this book and start solving."
-Michael Sharp, aka Rex Parker, author of the crossword blog "Rex Parker Does the NYT Crossword Puzzle" "Fireball puzzles are hot. If, like me, you're a crossword geek who needs something to keep yourself challenged Mondays through Thursdays, they're the perfect solution."
-Daniel Okrent, former public editor of the New York Times and author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
