3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining puzzles, terrible binding, November 21, 2006
By 
zephyr_venice (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Kakuro, Wordoku, and Super Sudoku: Best New Japanese Puzzles (Paperback)
This book has lots of kakuru puzzles and other puzzles that were new to me. I would say I am an advanced medium puzzle solver, and I have enjoyed the puzzles, but you must be warned, the book's binding is very poor. A page fell out on the day the book arrived. About a dozen have fallen out so far. I am not hard on books; the book was not mistreated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Puzzles, December 29, 2008
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Kakuro, Wordoku, and Super Sudoku: Best New Japanese Puzzles (Paperback)
I am an avid Kakuro player, and the puzzles in this book are great. Not many books include no double solution Kakuros. And I found none in this one.

I also found the Tenketsu puzzles extremely enjoyable. I had never seen this puzzle, and have yet to find it anywhere else. A search in Amazon only returned this book in the results list.

Hope some master puzzle-maker reads this and gives us a Tenketsu book.
