7/2024 - DNF ~ 20%. Found myself losing interest so I’m going to wait for the audiobook to come available & try again.
8/2024 - Trying it as an audiobook did the trick. I admittedly wish more of the book was from the octopus’s POV. He was unique, entertaining, & insightful. Other parts & perspectives felt a tad slow, bordering on boring at times. But overall, it was enjoyable to read about the unexpected friendship between a spit-fire old lady & a remarkably bright octopus.
