 Well Made but Not Challenging Sep 27, 2007
By J. Shilander
This puzzle pad is smaller than I expected though very well made. The paper is high quality and the spiral bounds works as it should. However, I found the puzzles too small, too easy to solve and actually irritating at times (too many repeating numbers in the puzzle). It might be a good option for someone just starting out with Kakuro, but not a more seasoned user.

Great idea, poor execution Sep 17, 2007
By Cyn
The good: fits in the palm of the hand, good quality paper doesn't let ink sink through, reporter-style top spiral binding allows the puzzle pad to lay flat perfectly (or allows the user to easily tear out and toss completed puzzles).
The bad: the puzzles are too small and too easy by far. The most difficult puzzles can be completed in 10 minutes or less, the easiest in under a minute. Like every kakuro book I've purchased, there are a few errors (3 digits that add up to 31?). However, because these puzzles are so small, a single error feels less forgivable. An error does not just render one corner of a puzzle wasted, rather it renders an entire puzzle wasted. Easy and difficult puzzle pages have an eye-boggling orange (see cover image) as an accent color. (Medium puzzles have a much more user-friendly green.)
My recommendation to the creator: Keep the style (except for the brutal orange), improve the puzzles (even if it means the pad must be made larger).
My recommendation to customers: It's convenient and portable if you want something to fill a few minutes. But if you want something even slightly challenging, keep looking.

Disappointed Mar 11, 2008
By Sharon L. Wade
"i read that"
I was excited to finally have a kakuro bok that i could take anywhere. It's annoying how easy they are and, as others have said, the errors make things even more frustrating. Things are printed correctly in the answers but the puzzles themselves are botched. Want my money back or at least a reprint with the corrected puzzles.
 Why buy a puzzle book with proofreading errors? Jan 07, 2009
By Puzzled
There are multiple instances where the PRINTING of the puzzles is wrong and don't agree with the PRINTING of the solutions. Some where the box printing is wrong, some where the clues are printed wrong.
