This book is a nice collection of artistic piece photos using LEGO bricks. This compendium ranges from very detailed lifelike replicas of various objects to imaginative creations like mythical creatures and spaceships. The book features 30 chapters, and it includes interviews with some of the artists who discuss their work and creativity. Strength of the book lies in the colorful photography that brings the art pieces to life.
Overall, this is a great book for fans of LEGO. It is also a good acquisition for public libraries and for academic libraries with strong art and/or pop culture programs. In the end, I really liked this one.
4 out of 5 stars.
Book qualifies for these 2021 Reading Challenges:
