Five-star review for Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
This lovely book is brimming with wonderful creatures, human and oceanic alike. I’m glad they’re making a movie of this and sad it will be on Netflix, which isn’t one of the streaming services I have. When the seventy-year-old widow, Tova, the thirty something young man who thinks he’s a failure, Cameron, and the wise old giant Pacific octopus, Marcellus, are brought together, we see magic because the ‘human’ connection is not restricted to people. The other people around them are also well-written, particularly Ethan, the grocery store owner. I listened to this on audio for my book group who all loved it as much as I did whether they read it or listened to it.
