This book wasn't MZB's best work. It was alright, but I had some trouble finding Fenton to be a believable character (his calling the ironfolk "ugly-wuglies" when he first encountered them seemed kind of, how shall I put this.....effeminate to me, which wasn't really how MZB meant for him to come off, and didn't really fit with the rest of the story) which made it difficult to get into for me. By the time Fenton visits his Uncle Stan, it was much more enjoyable though. Toward the end, I got were I didn't really want to leave my reading for too terribly long so I could see what happened next. I was reasonably satisfied with the ending too, although it could have gone quite differently, I think.
