Maybe because I started with this book

Like many other people I came to Kakuro after learning suduko. This dummies book was the first Kakuro book I used. I found this book just fine. I am still a newbie to the puzzle but I don't find these puzzles anymore difficult then ones in other magazines or books. I also have a perodical type Kakuro book from Dell that has similarly difficult easy puzzles. The only reason why I didn't give this book 5 stars is that the Dell puzzle book has included number combinations so you don't have to guess from scratch how many different number combinations for 23 can fit in a seven box space. All in all not a bad book to start with and like any of the dummies books it only provides one way of doing things and there are many different ways out there.
