5 out of 5 stars Very satisfying games for puzzle fans and especially for sudoku players   May 27, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
4 out of 7 found this review helpful

Kakuro is Sudoku's bigger brother: THE WAY OF KAKURO: THE KING OF JAPANESE NUMBER PUZZLES VOLUME 1 bills it the top of Japanese number puzzles from the original Japanese creators of the rage Sudoku, and thus it should hold appeal to any who want to move to a new puzzle based on numbers. Easy addition and subtraction helps the Kakuro novice get started, but the puzzles don't stop there: brain teasers and complicated routines provide very satisfying games for puzzle fans and especially for sudoku players.

This kakuro book has challenging puzzles without it also being impossible. The time factor adds a really fun dimension to solving the easier puzzles too. Even beat the expert time on some!
