This is an excellent book for those who love Legos. It provides detailed instructions for a wide range of cars. It's organized into beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections, which will be attractive to readers with a wide range of skills.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this review copy.

Finally, a book to build lego models without having to buy the whole lego set. My 10 year old loves lego, and I've looked at loads of lego books in the past to get ideas for the huge box of lego pieces that we have. But, the majority, if not all, of these books only have 'ideas', they don't have good clear instructions as to what pieces to use and how to build it. You can only get this calibre of instructions in the proper lego boxes, which we don't really need as we've got most of them!

My 10 year old, at the minute, is a bit of a 'petrolhead', he loves his cars, and to see a book on how to build lego cars is a dream come true. We've both looked through the book, and he loves the idea of being able to build a BMW I8, Porsche 911 and of course the Bugatti Veyron. The pictures are clear, the instructions are also clear, concise and easy to understand. There is a good selection of cars to try. Each set of instructions has a list of which pieces are needed also. They aren't necessarily colour specific, so if you don't have blue, then it can be done in red!!

Very good, will definitely be purchasing a hard copy when it is released! Five stars!

This is another great title for the Lego lovers in your life! I enjoyed the blurb about each vehicle chosen. Facts like that will appeal to the car fanatics. The pages covering the necessary Lego pieces and the schematics for building are clear and easy to follow. The 2017 Ford Raptor is a must make now in our house!

This book gives a detailed list of pieces and how to put them together. Awesome for die hard car fans. If you don't have the lego piece, you could order it as it also gives part numbers. Great for kids and adults alike!!

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

My son really enjoyed looking through the book at the directions and he was excited to try building some of the cars. He wasn't thrilled about working with the digital edition of the book so for us, this is a book best used in physical form. I'm thinking this would be a great Christmas present for him this year.

While cars aren't really my thing, I can appreciate the attention to detail that went into these models. The instructions are clear and each model had options for changing the end result, not to mention offering various colors that you can built it in.
