Beautiful! The voice of Marcellus the octopus is so fresh and unique and all other characters are "real". Tova's strength is inspiring and Cameron's humour is fun. The mystery is expertly paced and the ending is satisfying. Please read this remarkable book.

I loved this book. I finished it in 3 sittings. You will love the characters, the story, the unique perspectives. Perfect for aquarium lovers & those whose favorite trope is found family.

The audio book is a must read (must listen?) for the octoupus's narrator alone!

This book is really exceptional and I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like Remarkably Bright Creatures. A mix of coziness and magical realism, this book will grab your heart with Van Pelt’s prose and unique characters. The multi-POV was a bit confusing at first (I didn’t see the whole point for certain characters’ POV), but it ultimately makes sense in the end. Definitely would recommend reading if you’re looking for a heartwarming, found family contemporary featuring a blunt octopus and beautiful prose.
