That's a "New Life" for sure, dude was living his life to follow that octopus but it's really crazy how life is, you can do anything with it, and only you give meaning to what you are doing, and that guy taught us a whole lot about octopuses and it doesn't even pay that well to put out a documentary!

Karen thank you kindly, so happy you loved the documentary too! It's now a new life goal of mine to have an octopus friend 😭 And yes, it's the most supportive, sweetest, bookish community here, just spreading good vibes 🥰 Cheers to that!

I have a group of friends that work at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and they all loved this book and have strongly suggested I read it and now I have your wonderful review too.

Charles, your friends at the Monterey Bay Aquarium have impeccable taste 🐙 It's a heart-tugger that's for sure, and not my usual genre, but so unique. Let me know if you get to it! 🤍

I fell in love with Marcellus too�� so glad you enjoyed this wonderful book!

An octopus is very smart, it's quite fascinating. Seems like an interesting read. Good review, Esta.

Thanks so much Heidi. 🥰 I never knew I needed a grumpy octopus in my reading life! So happy you love Marcellus too.

Thanks a bunch Thibault. They're so smart. I've had a couple of wild octopus encounters in real life and they've been awe-inspiring. ☺️

Sweet review, my love!!💗 I remember watching a snippet of a doc where O would unlatch their tank and slip into a fish one, eat up all the fish then sneak back into its tank lol! no one knew what was happening until they hid a cam and discovered it! sooo wild lol! anyway, i've the utmost respect for these highly intelligent creatures, and i'm so happy you feel the same way, babe! ILYSM💖💞

Lovely review, Esta! I'd love to learn more about octopuses (or should I say octopi?) :) I'll need to watch My Octopus Teacher. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. :)

Thanks sm, my lovely love! I've seen a similar doc, so fascinating right?! They're such escape/heist artists. 🥺 Cheers to sharing the love for these sneaky eight-armed geniuses! Love you to the depths of the ocean and back! 💖💞

Aww I really want to read this book.

It did get a lot of hype didn't it Rosh? I may be biased because I've always been fascinated by octopuses/octopi. Thank you so much! 💙🥰

This one is on my list. This will be my first summer read. I loved the Octopus Teacher and the book The Soul of an Octopus, so I am greatly looking forward to this one. So happy it was a 5 star read for you. I loved your review.

Thanks so much Jonas, that's kind of you! How good was My October Teacher btw? I need to get cracking on The Soul of an Octopus. I'll make sure to follow your thoughts when you get to this one, very curious. Cheers! 😊

An amazing read. Who'd have thought an octopus could make such a fabulous narrator?

The best narrator, Darla, I'm so happy we are on the same wavelength for this one too. Thank you! I would love to see more books by this author. 🥰
