This book was tedious at times. Marcellus the octopus was amazing and if we'd had more of his musings and less of the humans, it would have been great. I really didn't care for Tova. She has all these people that care about her, yet she dismisses all of them. She figures it out in the end, but she's still not all that likeable. Parts of it were really slow too. I got tired of hearing about cleaning and the rest of the mundane day to day things like buying black pens.
