5.0 out of 5 stars Loves it, 7 Oct 2011
This review is from: The LEGO® Ideas Book (Hardcover)
My son has been eagerly awaiting this book to be published. He is just 7 and has loads and loads of lego which is mainly second hand so lots of unusual bits that don't particularly go with a set he has. He is always looking for ideas of things to build and this book was brilliant for getting his imagination going. It doesn't have instructions but the pictures are very clear and it inspires you to use lego pieces in ways you would never have thought e.g skeleton legs as bannisters on stairs. It does make it clear in the book that you are unlikely to have all the pieces but encourages you to think about the lego you do have and how it can be used. He has had it two days and hasn't put it down yet. I can see how some people might be disappointed with this book, you do need a lot of lego to get the use from it perhaps but it is so much better than the Technic Lego Ideas book he also bought (not endorsed by Lego) which in my opinion is complete rubbish.

This review is from: The LEGO® Ideas Book (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Whilst I love talking to other Lego fans about this wonderful building system, I can't say I have too much sympathy for the negative reviewers who were to expect "full building instructions" or to not have to use lots of bricks. Personally, I would have thought a clue as to what this book entails would be found in the title, since it is afterall named The Lego 'IDEAS' Book.

And that is exactly what this book sets out to do; to present a range of beautiful, imaginative and often very clever IDEAS that the reader will be inspired from and encouraged to use their own imagination. In doing so, you can build your own models without worrying about rigid instructions, requiring only certain types of bricks or not having flexibility in the designs. As someone who has been using Lego since the 80's, I can assure you that books just like this were once a very common release, but have sadly been lacking over recent years as I believe that Lego themselves are forgetting how less can be...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, visually and mentally, 2 Nov 2011
This review is from: The LEGO® Ideas Book (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
My son (like most people in the world?) loves Lego. He spends hours just building, being 9 it usually revolves around a house in the shape of a box, cars or guns. There is something tactile about the little bricks that just makes you want to pick them up and get going. I am not really a fan of the big ticket items (Star Wars etc) as it takes forever to build them and then that is it. What is needed is an Ideas book to take it to the next level with a couple of buckets of bricks......

When I first got the book I thought it would be along the lines of it telling you what you need to build a fire station (or whatever) and then you get Ikea-esque instructions. That would be ok, but it would be a bit like join the dots. What this book does is far better. It just shows you pictures with some very nice narrative. Nothing more than that - that is it. But it is made by Dorling Kindersley so the phots are lovely to look at, the usual white backgrounds and light shadowing... Read more

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
