This was a cute and sweet read and is definitely up there in terms of literature focused on octopuses (of which there is a surprising amount). I liked the plot well enough but things were laid out so perfectly that I kept getting frustrated that the characters couldn't figure things out. I wish we'd spent more time with Marcellus, because he was by far the best character.
