Editorial Reviews:

More challenging and more addictive than Su Doku, Kakuro is the new puzzle craze to spellbind the nation and this is the first Kakuro book to be published in the States.
Kakuro has already become more popular than Su Doku in Japan, delighting millions with its blend of total simplicity and devilish complexity. Now the US has the chance to become hooked on Kakuro. In these bumper books of all-new Kakuro there are hundreds of puzzles divided into three difficulty ratings – including some fiendishly difficult ones . . .




User Comments about the Kakuro: Book 3

The difficulty grades (easy, medium, hard) match my skill level. Good puzzles. Easy to read.



As an example of the latter criticism, the upper left corner of a puzzle may be a near carbon copy of the bottom left corner. Once insight is gain on how to fill in the top left area, the same approach can be used to complete the bottom left area.For those looking for a book with very tough Kakuro puzzles, I recommend "The Book of Kakuro #1" by Michael Mepham. The pros of this books are that it contains quite a large number of puzzles, there is plenty of space to make entries and write notes, and the paper does not shred when penciled entries are erased.The cons are two: even "very hard" puzzles are not that challenging (the "Easy" puzzles should be labelled "Really simple") and there is too much repetition (computer-generated, I expect), both among and within puzzles.
