## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Looked interesting and had good reviews so thought I would give it a read
  

*by L***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2017*

Studying Civil Engineering at University and this was on one of the extra reading lists. Looked interesting and had good reviews so thought I would give it a read. Wasn't disappointed. Very informative but also interesting. Was quite an enjoyable read considering it is degree related. Goes very well with the other book Why Buildings Fall Down. I read them both.

wonderful book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written and engaging book
  

*by A***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2018*

The author engages the reader from the outset - not too wordy for the layman and still interesting for a lifetime construction manager like myself - a good book to have on the shelf.
