I was very excited to recieve this book but once I opened it I was a little dismayed by how difficult each "oragami" was. I was often unable to get much help from the reference photo due to the fact that the author chose such garish colours. All in all it is an interresting idea and once I figure out how to make a few things I think it will be a good creative resource.
