Reader Reviews:
A good value book, but may not be as challenging as others (1/1 people found this helpful)
I aggree, in large, with the other reviews. However, the midi and early section puzzles are very easy if you're a seasoned solver. The final puzzles are reasonably challenging but not as tough, in my opinion, as the Times Killer series. Very good value when you consider the price, so 4 stars it is.
Best killer su doku book start to finish (7/7 people found this helpful)
I have tried a number of su doku and killer su doku books and I find they let me down on the final pages - I don't agree philosophically with "branching," which is just guessing, when you get down to it. This book was a winner from the light-entertainment easy puzzles to the seriously challenging but eventually very doable hard puzzles.
Not only do I recommend this book to any puzzle fan, I am buying a second copy for my dad! If you enjoy su doku, try killer - you'll never go back.
Killer of all Killers (14/14 people found this helpful)
Like many others who have posted here, once you start on killer there is no going back to normal su doku.
So far I have bought the Times books 1 and 2 and this one - and I have to say this is the best and most challenging of them all - though the second Times book is good too and I see a third one has just been released yesterday. My wife will not be pleased....
Excellent Killer Sudoku Puzzle Book (18/20 people found this helpful)
Personally speaking, Killer Sudokus are a variation on the Sudoku puzzle theme which I find more interesting, and this is a really excellent book, thoroughly recommended to all like-minded puzzle addicts. It starts with around 10 pages of basic guidance re how to solve 'killer' puzzles, and the guidance is clear and easy to understand and this section should be useful for beginners.
Then comes the meat of the book, with 200 puzzles of varying difficulty levels. It starts off with 'midi' puzzles (6 by 6) and then 'starter' 9 by 9 puzzles. Experienced solvers may want to skip these sections (especially the midi section) and start from puzzle 41. The puzzles then range from easy through moderate and hard up to challenging. And finally, there are a couple of 'monsters'. I'll let you buy the book to find out what these consist of!
