Summary: Excellent for anyone looking for a challenge.
Comment: Origami Sea Life is the origami book I use the most; I come back to it far more often than any of the 30 or so other origami books I own. The models inside it cover such a wonderful range of subjects that when I think of making a little gift for someone, I can always find something appropriate in this book. Montroll and Lang happen to be my two favorite origami authors, for their challenging and interesting models, and they produce some of their best work here. The range and depth of the models in this book is amazing. There are a slew of fish, including ones not often seen (like the scary Blackdevil Angler), a bunch of well-done mollusks, and a few very difficult crustaceans. Every model in the book turns out well, many of them with a nice three-dimensional touch. Few advanced origamians will have real trouble with this book, too. The point is to complete the models, and while there is a great feeling of accomplishment once your Fiddler Crab is done, it's not because you got past horrible diagrams. No, it's because you folded a beautiful sea creature that not many others could. I would highly recommend Origami Sea Life for any advanced folder (or aspiring advanced folder), as it is worth far more than it costs.

Summary: Great fish models
Comment: Yes, this is an intermediate folders book, but its nowhere near as hard as Lang's Insect book. If you can fold the other Montroll models you can do the ones in this book. There are some easier models, basic fish, with the hardest being those with the most appendages, crabs etc. But I like folding fish. Origami just lends itself to fish models and these are wonderful.

Summary: Not Impossible, but a Challenge
Comment: I've owned this book for a number of years and only recently have I been able to fold most of the creatures in it. This book is definitely not for greenhorns, but if you look closely at every single diagramme in the book, and interpret them exactly and are very careful, every model in the book is foldable. The end result is gorgeous paper sea creatures that can impress basically anyone--yourself included. I've been amazed at how beautiful the things I'm folding from this book turn out.
