I never thought I’d be teary-eyed over an octopus. Marcellus was my favorite character - hands down. His thoughts were what I picture my cat’s thoughts to be: brilliant, condescending, and humorous. While the characters were interesting, it took awhile for me to get into the story. I loved the ending and how nicely everything wrapped up.
