### ⭐⭐⭐ Bit of a mishmash
*by T***D on 24 June 2007*

Not sure how to review this book. It can't decide whether its an adult book or a kids book. A few interesting projects (few being the operative word). I decided to give the book to my 13 year old cousin because so many of the projects are pretty childish but in the hands of a child any younger and some projects could be quite dangerous. Basically, I was not impressed. The author seemed to run out of idea's and repeated himself throughout the book. A better idea would be for you to do an internet search and print off some of the much better projects you'll find floating about.
