Overall Impression

In Montroll's second book, we can see more of his older trends of
"open backed" animal models, and thickish models.
Still, I like some of these models better than some of his later ones,
because they seem to have more character.
There are some good examples of how to get more from a square:
toes for a frog, fangs for a walrus.
