[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-30 Summary: A Tremendous NXT Teaching Accomplishment By A Young Roboticist ... From his infectious enthusiasm for the Mindstorms NXT System it might be easy to guess that Laurens Valk was introduced to Lego Robotics at age 13 just five short years ago. But, from the careful logical pedagogy of this book and his interesting approach mixing successively more advanced robots intermixed with a clearly arranged taxonomy of parts, programming tools and motor/drive train and sensor categorization, I would have imagined that this book was written by an excellent teacher with many years of experience ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-26 Summary: Interesting and charming ... This book is interesting as a well-researched study of the adult LEGO fan community, but it is also utterly charming as a peek into the author's childhood and young adulthood as a fan of Legos and a lover of his wife and new daughter. A treat! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-12 Summary: The World of Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOL) ... Being a fellow AFOL myself, I jumped on this book. It reads like a blog - the chapters can almost stand by themselves and are chock full of interesting details about the minutae of building, Lego history, vignettes, stories and finally his personal story about he and his wife's efforts to conceive their first child woven in. Once you get accustomed to the slightly choppy delivery, the book covers a tremendous amount of ground and is worth the read. This is the 2nd book I have read recently where the "blog style" writing ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-31 Summary: Advanced Lego Skills Required ... Forbidden Lego has some innovative and fun designs, and the description of the process Lego uses to design, approve and produce models is especially interesting. The models in this book would not pass this rigorous approval process, and the authors tell you exactly why - they might fire projectiles too fast or too quickly or require the alteration of an approved Lego piece. But the building instructions would also not pass Lego's quality control process, either. Some illustrations are missing the box that shows the ...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | It just may be impossible to exhaust the creative potential of LEGO bricks. With an active imagination as your guide, there are endless possibilities--provided you follow the LEGO Company's official (and sensible) rules. This means no cutting or tampering with bricks, creating models that shoot unapproved projectiles, or using non-standard parts with any LEGO product. After all, those little precision-molded ABS bricks can be dangerous in the wrong hands! Well, toss those rules out the...more
I LEGO N.Y.
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-15 Summary: Witty ... Mr. Niemann makes me laugh every single time. He definitely makes me see mundane things in an entirely new light. I'm not sure actually buying this book is necessary because he has a blog on the NYTimes website called "Abstract City," and this entire lego-themed book was one of his early posts. Check it out first, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with his style. But this is a good way to help support his work, too. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-14 Summary: What a great gift for someone who loves New York City ... A friend sent my wife a copy of this amusing little love letter as a get well gift. Christoph Niemann has put together a number of very amusing little vignettes of the City made out of a few Lego pieces. Charming, clever and evocative. Some of these appeared on his New York Times blog; he writes ""I LEGO N.Y." A playful homage to New York. Now available as a nice chunky board book. With all the images from the original blog + a handful of new ones." It's well worth visiting his website to explore his wonderful take ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: And my daughter thought it was for her... ... I happened to see this book at Toys'R'Us and picked it up right away, not wanting to wait until it gets delivered (even though I do have Amazon Prime...) Christoph Niemann is an amazing illustrator, I follow his work in The New York Times religiously (my personal favorite being The Boys and the Subway: [...]) and even though this book was in a kids store and is supposed to be a book for kids, I had to disappoint my daughter and tell her Mommy was buying this for herself. Looking at it on the train ride home, I couldn't ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | I LEGO N.Y. is an imaginative look at life in New York City constructed entirely out of LEGOs. Designer and illustrator Christoph Niemann was inspired to create a series of miniature New York vignettes out of his sons' toys after a few cold and dark winter days in Berlin. The former New Yorker then posted photographs of his creations along with his handwritten captions on his New York Times blog. Resident and honorary New Yorkers around the world responded enthusiastically to the clever...more
