Enough of a Challenge and Plenty of Inspiration
I bought this book because I used to make origami llamas years ago and had long forgotten. After an exhaustive search, this was the only book I could find with instructions for a llama. In that respect, I'd say this book met my expectations.Most of the instructions are intermediate and can be constructed in a few minutes. They are challenging enough that you feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment upon finishing an animal. Something that other reviewers may overlook is that this book provides wonderful inspiration for creating your own origami animals. Many animals start out from a base that you could branch off from to create tigers, dolphins, moose, etc.
Nothing new at all, which is the only problem.
This is by far my LEAST favorite Montroll book. It is basically a collection of animals that he has either previously or since done much better! I own almost all of his books, and I would not recommend this one to any other person that has most of his books. However, the 3 star rating may be unfair, because I am comparing this book to the rest of Montrolls. I think, compared to most other origami animal books, this one would still rank near the top, but not after people discover Montroll's better books (North American Animals, African Animals, etc.)
