Weird diagrams, weird book,
By "johnnyspringville" (East Concord, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fascinating Origami: 101 Models by Adolfo Cerceda (Paperback)
There are some things about this book I enjoy. Many of the subjects are very cool and original. I love the Vulture. On the other hand, the diagrams are just strange. Each step would be 2 or 3 steps in another book. Difficult for beginners, I even had a hard time trying to figure out what was supposed to be happening in some of them.I appreciate the fact that Adolfo came from a different school of origami, but many of his diagrams are cumbersome to fold and are (GASP!) modular. Many lack an "economy of folding" that makes a good model great.

A picture's worth a thousand words,
By geek chick (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fascinating Origami: 101 Models by Adolfo Cerceda (Paperback)
After reading two grossly conflicting reviews, I decided borrow a copy of "Fascinating Origami" from a friend. My thoughts: this book is NOT for beginners - unless you ace all of Mensa's spatially oriented tests. On the other hand, if you have folded any of Montroll's medium-hard creations, you should be able to make it through the pictorial instructions without much trouble. (Most of the time. But use a scrap piece first, just in case.) The resulting models are also at a par with some of Montroll's best, making it well worth your while!
