Who knew I liked reading animal thoughts?  After Lessons in Chemistry and now this book, it appears that I do.  This was the perfect book for me right now.  I loved the Puget Sound setting, the characters, and the wise old octopus.  Though the book focuses on loneliness and loss, it feels like you've been given a warm hug.
