What a great book!,

This review is from: Mythological Creatures and the Chinese Zodiac in Origami (Paperback)
I am a beginning origami enthusiast and have only five origami books to my name. However, four of them are by John Montroll and this book, Mythological Creatures, is one of the best!! The drawings are easy to follow, the designs are very different and challenging and when completed, the three-headed dragon is just awesome!! It took me four hours to fold it, but it was worth the time. Get this book! The folds are great and the results are worth every penny!

Great Models for Intermediate Folders,

This review is from: Mythological Creatures and the Chinese Zodiac in Origami (Paperback)
This book has my favorite Montrol Model, Cerberus the three headed dog who guards the gates of hell, and my second favorite Pegasus. I had an old Sakoda model of a the flying horse but this one far exceeds it.Montrol models tend to be complex, with many many folds. The detail of the three headed dragon is amazing. But the final model is less than pleasing. Sometimes less is more. On the other hand, there are no cuts in any of these models and if you use good large paper you will be amazed at what is possible. (These models are easier than the Lang bugs)

Not his best,
By #1 D.C. fan Gene (GeneleeX@aol.com) (Stone Mountain, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mythological Creatures and the Chinese Zodiac in Origami (Paperback)
This is a decent origami book overall. There are some very impressive models, such as the three headed dragon, but most of the book is pretty watered-down compared to some of Montroll's other books due to lack of detail.
