The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness by Sy Montgomery

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

While a beautiful contemplation on the octopus and their natural beauty it lacks substance from a purely scientific perspective. There are occasional tidbits from research and scientific consensus but the vast majority of the book is rooted in challenging the perspective that octopuses are gross and stupid. I still enjoyed it. Sy Montgomery is a beautiful writer and this book is a beautiful tribute to the octopus, but if your looking for a more informative, science based read I’d consider looking elsewhere.
