What a beautiful book. It really touched me. It took me a little bit to get into, but I loved the characters, especially Marcellus. It had me tearing up at the end - what a special story.

At first it didn't make sense why are we following these exact people, later it clicked.
I was not a fan of humanized octopus sherlok-holming his way into people's lives. I would rather read a nonfiction about these amazing creatures than them being given thoughts and words.
