80% of the book is focused on a very simple module and some variations, that allows you to do... cubes. And then entire chapters dedicated to how to link them and also detailing how to build a big house, a small house, a church, etc. etc. etc. The same stuff could be done easily in 10% of the book. If someone is interested in this kind of origami, then better buy "Unit Origami" from Tomoko Fuse.

The rose section is Ok, well explained and detailed (10% of the book)

The math section is hard, not well introduced and not very clear.

Summary-> get the Kawasaki rose (very nice, by the way) from any other book. You will get the same profit, and you will save money.

The author is very detailed. One gets the feeling that they are working with a true teacher to create the shapes and understand the math. But the English is terrible. More attention should have been paid getting a competent translator. After reading through some of the book I feel like I've lost my own ability to speak English, and English is my native language.

A beautiful book, great schemas ... I could rate it 5 stars if only there were few photos more.
