David McK (3868 KP) rated Brick City: Lego for Grown-ups in Books

Jan 30, 2019

A hard one to categorise, this: it's not a story (obviously!), so no plot, nor is it a traditional educational book.

In the end, however, I decided to categorise it as educational simply 'cos it shows what can be done with LEGO blocks!

The book, itself, is really just photos (with, in most cases, building instructions for those with enough of the right kind of pieces) of the Lego counterparts of real-life buildings, most made by LEGO artist Warren Elsmore and a few by other contributors.

Makes me jealous!

An absurd collection of tabloid-style articles that marries folklore, fairytales, and nursery rhymes with the issues of everyday life. From Rumplestiltskin being indicted for the straw-to-gold scandal to the sibling drama of the three little pigs, with headlines such as “Game-Changing Name Change for Rumplestiltskin” and “Wolf Suing Pigs for Injuries Sustained” you’re sure to be entertained.

As a lifelong fan of classic fairytales, I found myself laughing out loud as beloved characters were used to mock and poke fun at real-world issues.
