4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining for enthusiast for all levels, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
For the origami purists, this book appeals in that none of the models require cutting or glueing. With a wide range of difficulty levels, there is something for everyone. And of course with a title like that, the greatest appeal is to make the model "move" once you complete it. Some models "move" better than others (as I had expected) so you'll find some more satisfying than others. Nevertheless, it's always an added thrill to have your paper model do more than lie flat on the table. Beginners will find themselves easily hooked on origami because of this. What I like about the tougher models are the innovative designs that are unique to this book, like the musicians and the boat-rower. This is a nice change from the more traditional designs commonly seen in Japanese origami books. The down side of this book lies in its folding instructions. The illustration is not comprehensive enough so it is unclear what happens to the in-between layers not shown in the disgram. Also, there's too much creasing and unfolding that makes the eager enthusiast feel impatient, wondering if all that is necessary. I also encountered a lot of steps require the paper to "wrap-around" in the opposite direction, which in reality will cause the paper to tear if the maker does exactly as he was told (i.e. to "wrap"). Paper sizes vary according to the level of difficulty and type of paper recommended also varies with the model. 80% of the models use square paper.
