This is a great book, the kind of book that should be written more often, and that we should be reading more often. It explores the natural mysteries around life in the ocean, and focuses on the author's experience with octopuses. As I read this book, I realized that I knew nothing about underwater life, and I developed a deep respect for the octopus.

My favorite thing about this book is that this is the kind of writing that exposes the writer's love and life-long passion for her field - and reading it will inspire budding naturalists and marine-life lovers to follow their dreams.
