I loved this book so much. In this book, the author explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus. I had no idea how much reading about four different octopuses and their relationships with their care staff at the aquarium would affect me. I laughed, I cried, and I learned more than I thought I would.

I smiled. I cried. And I learned a lot about octopuses. And now.... I want to study biology and see those wonderful creatures on my own.

This is a wonderful and sometimes tragic journey and absolutely worth reading.

But also I sometimes had difficulties about some aspects. Things I thought of "Well, this could be described better/otherwise", but thats just a personal option.
