What did you think of Monsters of Templeton?

I thought it had its share of flaws, but overall was satisfying, a pageturner. It's a hard one to recommend, its silliness quota was high, but if you like magic realism and storied about generations of tough talking ladies, this one will be for you!

thanks :-)
