Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-04 Summary: Broad ranging starting guide ... These is less about instructions (although there are a few) and more about the theory of Lego building. It covers a lot of topics, from super mini models up to giant Lego blocks made of smaller Lego blocks. The downside to this approach is there is a lot of discussion of topics that not everyone is going to be interested in. I for one have no desire to build over-sized Lego blocks. Still there's lots of good tidbits of information, and it reminds me as I introduce my daughter to Legos that not everything about building ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-27 Summary: Birthday present for my nephew ... My 10 year old nephew is big into Legos, so I wanted to get him the perfect book.

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: Something even for the master builder ... I've been building with Lego bricks for over 30 years. I bought this book to add to my collection not expecting to "learn" much but have something to share and refer to from now and again. I was very happily surprised after reading and learning a few new building techniques. While this book isn't exhaustive of every single SNOT or other advanced building technique (btw, there isn't one) this is a great single volume that is a happy addition to every LEGO enthusiast's library. I have also recommended this book for persons ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: Great Set ... My 5 1/2 year old son got this set from his grandparents and he loves it. He is so proud of all the things he can make. The one legged pirate is super cute. This is one of my son's first sets of Legos and we are very happy with it. We plan on getting him the other Brickmaster sets now too. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-21 Summary: Perfect for the little lego lover ... My 5 and 7 year old boys love these. They are wonderful. They give detailed instructions to make several items with the included legos. They also store nicely. They store like a book in the bookshelf. There is a box connected to the hard back book, and they all store nicely. My son plays with these almost every day. He has had them almost a month. I definitely will buy the rest of the sets. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-10 Summary: Step by Step instruction! ... Love the step by step instructions on how to build each item in the book. Even my 5 year old can follow some of the steps since they are all pictures. I wish you could make more than one item without taking apart your previous creation though. Lots of fun and has been enjoyed by our family. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: Perfect gift for young Lego-lovers ... My sister told me that her youngest son (aged 4) loved Lego, and loved books. So, for Christmas we sent him a book of Lego. Went down very well, and our nephew has been happily playing and creating to his heart's content. Sure the book is completely unnecessary (in my day it was a folded up piece of paper with the instructions shoved into the box...), but hey - it looks cool, and its just a novel way of doing it that makes it unique and special. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-26 Summary: Adult LEGO Fans - You're Not Alone! ... "LEGO: A Love Story" is the story of one grown man's re-immersion into the world of building with those famed little plastic bricks. He begins by snapping together small models, not really knowing what he's doing. The more he builds, the more he enjoys it, and the better he gets. Before long, he's going to LEGO conventions, touring the LEGO headquarters, playing in Legoland, visiting LEGO museums, and making all kinds of friends and contacts in the LEGO world -- and he takes the reader right along with him, teaching ...more
[2] 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
[3] 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
