2.0 out of 5 stars
Not easy to follow.........,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami for Beginners (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
It shows you how to do many figures but the diagrams aren't easy to follow. In fact, there aren't even explanations, of any kind at all, to elaborate. It's a good book for maybe more experienced origami folders, but not for beginners.

4.0 out of 5 stars
NOT for beginners!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami for Beginners (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
The title of this book is very misleading. While some of the models may be suitable for beginners, and much of the actual *folding* of modules may be fairly straight-forward, most of this book involves modular models which are quite difficult to assemble. In fact, some seem to require brute force, stretching to the tearing point (or beyond!) to put the model together. The diagrams are not always as self-explanatory as the author seems to think, and there's little if any text to help the novice folder along. For folders accustomed to the elegant clarity and smooth assembly of the modular models of Tomoko Fuse, this book can be frustrating. That said, there are many good things as well, and any devotee of modulars will want to own this book as well, especially considering the price. In sum, I decided to up my rating from 3 to 4 stars since this is a great value for the money. But NOT for beginners!

frustrating and useless,

Just echoing the sentiments of other people who have left reviews - this book is extremely unhelpful. Even the 1-star (easy) projects are complicated and difficult to follow given the set of obscure diagrams. Do not buy this book.
