Good for beginners - By: Campbell K. Handbury, 02 Nov 2008 
This is a great puzzle, but is very light on the more difficult versions of killer. There are only 5 'deadly' killers (52 min & over), & these were not of that high a standard compared to the ones that I have seen in the times...
addictive but watch out for no. 91 - By: Al the book monster, 24 Mar 2008 
If you like Su Doku you will like this book. But watch out for puzzle 91 as it has an error in it. 26 in the bottom right centre cannot be 989 as is provide by the solution.
Can't put it down - By: ItsLifeJim, 12 Jul 2006 Beautifully crafted puzzles that are graded & ordered by the amount of time you're expected to solve them in - from a few minutes right up to 90! I like the way they seem to be ordered so that each puzzle brings something new to the previous one.
All you'll need for this is some Su Doku skills, some reallly basic maths (subtracting from 45 is a good start), a pen, your thinking head & plenty of time.
More addictive than Sudoku - By: Mr. R. J. Hole, 08 Apr 2006 Killer SuDoku is so much more entertaining than SuDoku. The grid is the familiar 9x9 but most grids have no starting numbers. The only clues are the groups of squares with the total in the top left. If you have ever played SuDoku & Kakuro then you will find it easy to get started. Unlike ordinary SuDoku it can require some arithmetic. Each puzzle has a time it should take which range from 7 minutes to 90 minutes. You can always skip some of the "Gentle" & "Moderate" puzzles if you find them too easy, or save them for when you are feeling brain-dead. I'm not sure I every want to go back to ordinary SuDoku again!
The Times puzzles are well constructed & it seems like they have been designed with a particular route to the answer in mind. There are not many Killer Su Doku books around at the moment but this is probably the best.
Excellent Puzzle Book - By: , 11 Feb 2006 A very interesting new variation on the 'Sudoku' puzzle type, which is certain to become more & more popular. It's a combination, reallly, of both Sudoku & Kakuro - a combination which enables the composer & solver to set & solve puzzles using techniques familiar to the foundation puzzle types & also ideas unique to 'killers' such as 'nonet counting'.
These are hand compiled (and often symmetrical) puzzles by Japaneze puzzle experts and, with over 100 puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty, this book should give many, many hours of puzzling entertainment. Many more so than the publishers themselves estimate as I find the target times totallly unobtainable!
Thoroughly recommended.
