No 'Challenge' involved,
By MissP (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kakuro Challenge: 201 Puzzles! (Paperback)
I have recently bought and finished several Kakuro books, and in fact i've bought some more than once. Unfortuantely this one should have a warning on it - for beginners only. It is incredibly easy. Easier than most puzzles found in daily newspapers. I would only recommend this if you have never done these puzzles before.

A second helping of puzzles,
By William E. Margolis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Kakuro Challenge 2 (Paperback)
I need to thank my friend, Vivian Lee, who sent me as gifts both books, Kakuro Challenge 1 and Kakuro Challenge 2. I have already reviewed Kakuro Challenge 1, and Kakuro Challenge 2 is very similar . Once again one gets a generous helping of 200 kakuro puzzles, ranked in four categories of difficulty. The layouts and difficulty are about the same as in Challenge 1. As you follow your way through the puzzles you will soon find yourself back in old familiar places, such as the intersection of 7-in-3 block with a 4-in-2 block and the friendly attraction of an 11-in-4 block intersecting a 14-in-2 block.
When Alastair comes out with a third kakuro challenge, let us hope that he corrects the last paragraph in the introduction, adds some more advanced hints about using subsets of numbers, and widens the range of puzzle layouts. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Okay for beginners, not so much if you've done Kakuro before.,
By Angel Biezeman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Kakuro Challenge 2 (Paperback)
For a change I read the intro, on how to solve the puzzles. It doesn't help understanding Kakuro that the author make mistakes in the explanations. In "highs and lows" he talks about the only combination to make 16 in 5 squares, being 123456. Of course we know that should be 12346, but for someone who doesn't know Kakuro, a faulty explanation is not helpful at all. In the last example "divide and conquer" he talks about having a 7-in-3 block to solve, while you are actually left with a 7-in-2, and his unique solution is not the only option in the puzzle pictured. Also, the website [...] that is mentioned in the book is not active anymore. Sure, it's a 2005 puzzle book but at least bother enough to keep the website available if you mention it in and on your book.
So much for the intro. The book itself is not a challenge at all for someone that has done Kakuro before. For the beginner it might be okay. It starts out with small puzzles and even the vicious puzzles (highest level in this book) I can fill out without thinking much at all. For me it was pretty much a waste of time and money. Not that I am so good at it, there are other books and puzzles where I get totally stuck on puzzles. That I call a challenge, not this. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

The Kakuro Challenge 2,
By Nancy Eckart "mtnhykr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Kakuro Challenge 2 (Paperback)
If Sudoku is boring you, this is the game you should try. I would advise you try an easier version before buying this one. Puzzles are clear, easy to read, large squares. One drawback in this book, however, is that there is either too little a margin or too much print on the edges, hampering writing notes. A minor problem.
