It is chock full of stunning and original art made completely from LEGO blocks.The book is done in full color on heavy paper stock and feels and looks high quality. Itrsquo;s an excellent ldquo;coffee table bookrdquo;. When people see the cover they will immediately want to look inside.Inside they will find hundreds of wonderful photos of LEGO sculptures that range in size from just a few bricks and a few inches high to complex life-sized sculptures containing thousands of bricks. The sculptures are very diverse and cover all sorts of subjects - from wildlife; to pop-culture characters; to architecture. Each sculpture is fascinating to look at; and to appreciate not only the overall appearance; but also the artistsrsquo; creative use of various LEGO bricks. As a child who would always follow the instructions; seeing the creative and wonderful things that people can do when they donrsquo;t; is inspiring and fun.As if the wonderful images werenrsquo;t enough there are also interviews with the artists scattered throughout the book that are very informative and enjoyable.All in allhellip; itrsquo;s amazing what can be done with simple LEGO bricks.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. She Loved It!By creeperThis was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter; the Lego-lover. Unfortunately; she opened it first. We almost couldnt get her to put it down and open the rest of her gifts. I wrapped it after just glancing at it; expecting to look at it further after shed opened it; but could never find a time in the next four hours when she wasnt engrossed in it.Her mother says she falls asleep at night with the book. What a smashing success this one was.Since I only had the opportunity to look at a few pages I cant comment extensively on whats in the book. Youll have to take my granddaughters word for it..."Awesome!"1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The gift of creativity was not wasted...fascinatng images.By D. NewirthLego in the mind of adults...fascinating. Bought this as a Christmas present for my young adult son. It was a tradition every Christmas from the time he was about 4 that he would receive one Lego kit to do on Christmas morning (a page at a time to slow down the "tearing through the presents" impulse). He still likes Legos; but as a graphic artist and cartoonist; I thought he might really enjoy seeing the creativity of others.
