The storytelling in this book is marvelous. Reminds me why contemporary literature can be so important. When you start reading, there's no way you would guess where it is going nor the outcome. As the book progressed, I made the connections and knew what was going on, but I kept reading because I wanted to know how it affected or characters.
I have to admit, I absolutely hated Cameron's character, but I still wanted his happiness. He was dealt a crappy hand, and Sowell Bay is more than just answers for him. It's proof that he can change and grow.
I know that he was just the glue, but I wanted more Marcellus. His insights were refreshing, and it was a reminder that animals are more than just cute creatures.
I also want to admit, I was scared at the beginning that this was going to be a Tova-falls-in-love-with-the-octopus story.. I was pretty close to putting it down. But after a bit, I realised fascination doesn't have to mean infatuation. I've been reading too much romance, lol.
