Great Fun

I love killer sudoku / sumdoku. This book has a great selection of puzzles from mini's to very challenging. I love it!

For Beginners Only!

The 13 page introduction with examples of different solving skills combined with tables of combinations is the reason this is the best book I've seen for the beginner to killer suduko. The solving tips are logical and explained well, and the tables are handy and you should keep them at hand when you advance to the harder books.

I learned a lot about sudoku.

The beginning of the book has a lot of information regarding killer sudoku. I have been playing for months and still found new ways to determine what number goes where. Lots of fun.

A good starter book for Killer Sudoku

This is an excellent introductory book for Killer Sudoku. The 13 page introduction explains solving methods and provides some tables of interesting sums and their number combinations. This is followed by 12 pages of 6x6 Killer Sudoku puzzles to give you some practice if you haven't done this type of puzzle before. The regular 9x9 Killer Sudoku puzzles follow with 15 Mild, 33 Moderate, 35 Challenging, 20 Vexing, and 5 Truly Killer puzzles. So far I've made it into the vexing puzzles with very little difficulty. I also have "Killer Su Doku 1 The Deadly New Dimension", which I was working on before this one and which is a lot harder. (I actually got stuck at puzzle #78 and switched over to Steve Arons' book to see if I could get some insight into the problem.) I find the rhythm and flow of solving Killer Sudoku to be much more fun and satisfying than regular Sudoku and highly recommend this book for beginners.

Loved it

New strategies and a good mix of skill level. Very enjoyable. Peace!
