 Rating:  - Don't waste your moneyWho writes for 'The Girl" ? Surely he/she cannot have done many of these puzzles. Having bought the Mensa book of Kakuro (an excellent book by the way) I was looking forward to a more difficult challenge. The book itself was a nice compact size and I was surprised to see quite a few 9x9 puzzles. I quickly worked through the first 7 puzzles, finding some of the puzzles had more than one solution, then got really stuck on puzzle 8. I spent a long time trying to narrow down the possibilities until ... Read More Rating: - So frustrating I threw it away!Avoid this book! As other reviewers have mentioned, most of the puzzles have more than one possible solution. At first I thought this was an isolated problem but as time went on I found it cropping up again and again. Judging by the anomalous review, I suspect that 'The Girl' might be one of the authors!

All the Japanese-designed Kakuro I've ever seen in other books and newspapers have one essential characteristic in common - thay always have a single unique solution. Not in this book. The very first puzzle has 4 (slightly different) solutions, and No. 83 has no less than 31 valid alternatives to the solution published. There are more, all with ... Read More Rating:  - Marvellous! Stunning! A real gem!!What a fabulous and well put together masterpiece by those wonderful world-class published authors Lindop and Johnstone. An absolute masterpiece - it must have taken them ages to compile this little gem. I was particularly enamoured by the introduction - so well written and completely captivating! The author should surely try his hand at fiction writing judging by this piece of craftmanship. Well thought-out, you can tell that this book was slaved over and given the utmost care and consideration. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
