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

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 ...

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

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-19 Summary: Excellent Book! ... My wife teaches robotics to kids in her school's evening clubs and also in various summer robotic camps in Silicon Valley CA, We bought this for teaching kids grades 5 thru' 8 and found that it has excellent resource for the teacher and kids alike. This book as an interesting storyline to read which gets kids involved into robotic designs rather than cookie cutter instructions that we usually find in other books. Do not get me wrong, this book can be used as a very good instructional manual to get the robot built. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-13 Summary: Teach Young Roboticists Engineering Design with Lego NXT 2.0 ... I have reviewed several books on Lego Mindstorms NXT, unfortunately most other books provide the young robotics student with pre-designed robots to build and insert pre-written code which only allows the Mindstroms NXT system to serve as an interesting toy; but these books provide little to inspire creativity on the part of the young student. This book refreshingly takes a totally different approach; the hobbyist is presented with an interesting story and a set of problems to solve with their Mindstorms Robot; then ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-06 Summary: Superb! ... We purchased this book for my 15 and 9 year old boys who received a Mindstorms NXT 2.0 robot for Christmas. This book is intended for further instruction AFTER the tutorials that came with Mindstorms are completed. It is a great way to keep your robot builders interested and challenged. The book is well laid out, interesting to read, and easy to follow. As an engineer myself, I really like how the author teaches critical thinking and problem solving. The problem solving sheets included (and downloadable from the publisher's ...more
