Story
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Decent listen - but it drags on
Reviewed: 04-02-21
Decent story - but I found myself wanting this story to prepress quicker. I love detail in a book but unnecessary detail is annoying. This book has a ton of unneeded details. Story had an OK ending.

This book was SLOW. The storyline was decent but it took forever to arrive to the point. I found myself rolling my eyes saying “OMG GET TO THE POINT” a lot.

Story
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

This is such a fun and easy listen. It’s about life. Simple pure and honest. It has no plot - but it’s full of amazing stories that everyone could benefit from in some way shape or form. Highly recommend!

NOTHING HAPPENS! NOTHING. No climax to the story no twists no turns. And the pig never pays for what he did. It’s really boring all the way until the end. Getting my credit back....
