Summary: a weird and expensive book
Review: at the first reading this one looks interesting but don't be fooled!
this book is filled with strange,ugly and really difficult models with at least only four or five good looking ones
the 3D section is a waste of ime,with poorly designed models
except for the scorpion the cicada and the tarantula(the challenge of my life)
the other cool part are the musicians, but the pianist is just impossible to be done,as the other advanced models,like the cuckoo clock
well I think that's better you chase some models on the web than buy this book

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Starts off good - leaves beginners behind
Review: It starts off pretty good, then abandon's the beginner to the frustartion of vague instructions. I had to try some of the models several times nefore the directions made sense.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I want to recomend this book
Review: The complete book of origami is an exellent book, it haves diagrams that explain all models so clearly, step by step we can do models like a biplane, cu cu clock, some animals and musics. I`m really satisfied with the book. I think, if you guys want to do so nice models, buy it.

Summary: Impressive models not for beginners
Review: The models in this book are among those that most impress my friends when I make them. Nobody else has a full grand piano, with moving pianist. Certainly it requires a piece of paper of unusual dimensions, but Lang still holds true to the artifice of Western origami: no cuts.

The models in this book certainly cannot be considered for beginners, but the cuckoo clock alone is worth the price of the book. Be prepared to use some tweezers, though. :-)

Summary: Original
Review: The pace of this book is well-designed. From the easiest model to the very-much amazing and complicated cucu-clock. Mr. Lang show us possibilities of origami here, many models are from non-square papers. Most models are vivid and beautiful, for example, the dragonboat, cucu-clock, cicada. However few models are not so attractive, for example, cellist, violinst.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Origami Book
Review: This book is pretty good with lots of models. Only a couple of things I dislike are some of the models do not start from squares ( so you have to do some cutting) and after finishing the introductory folds section it moves quickly to advanced to nearly impossible folds...

Summary: Quality Origami
Review: This is a great book-but only if you are already familair with origami. You cannot simply look at the diagrams, as Lang has made the text descriptions almost more important than the visual descriptions. The cuckoo clock is by far one of the most advanced models I've ever seen in a book-but there are some easier models as well. Most people will be able to find SOMEthing to make, but I would only suggest this book for a NON-beginner.
