As an intermediate or pre-advanced origami folder, I found these models to be simplistic and boring, but the book lacks a lot of visual information necessary for beginners to easily complete the folds. For example, written directions frequently ask for folds by name without showing the steps ("inside reverse fold the head and neck"). The beginning of the book has written directions of certain folds but does not have pictures. For me, a squash fold is impossible to understand without pictures. Imagine an asymmetrical squash fold!

Also, many of the designs require cuts. Some people care about "pure" origami, so just thought I would mention it.
