g_na 's review for:

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

2.5

slow-paced

---

The main plot of this book, centering on the intelligence and communication skills of octopus, seemed to appeal directly to me. But sadly, it didn't live up to expectations. The combination of the slow pace and what I felt was an anticlimactic story arc had me slogging through the novel like it was a household chore.
