Kakuro 2: Bigger, Tougher, and More Addictive than Sudoku!

Sayonara, sudoku! Say hello to kakuro, the hot new puzzle from Japan that’s sweeping the globe! This fun and exciting book offers 100 challenging — some say fiendish! — cross sums puzzles, with complete solutions.

Like sudoku, kakuro is a cross sums puzzle that requires logic and patience to crack the grid. But, unlike sudoku, kakuro incorporates filled and empty cells similar to a crossword puzzle for a more challenging, more exciting, brain-twisting experience.

This stimulating volume of kakuro puzzles makes the perfect companion for quiet evenings at home, daily commutes, or vacations!

The authors rightly stress that Kakuro is a logic puzzle in their introduction, then illogically supply an abundance of puzzles which have multiple solutions. So really, it's a clairvoyance puzzle - as in, which way did the author end up solving it?
Additionally, the categories, easy, moderate and difficult, do not match the status quo of other Kakuro puzzle books. They are all pretty easy, even for a novice.
This looks like an attempt to cash in on a craze quickly, without taking the effort to test for quality. There are so many other great Kakuro books on the market. Don't waste your time on this one.

1Puzzles do not have unique solutions  Jun 30, 2008
By John Gee
Many of the puzzles in the book do not have a unique solution, which in my opinion ruins the book if you want to solve the puzzles by logic, or compare your answer or progress with the supplied (non-unique!) solution. The book is otherwise attractive and the puzzles come in a wide variety of shapes, so if you don't mind guesswork, you might still enjoy the book. It was a wasted purchase for me.
