In addition, it was absolutely amazing via audiobook, and I highly recommend it, as the narrators truly brought this story to life. This really was a remarkable book, and one I will hold in my reading memories forever. Its literary fiction that felt super readable and the characters are genuine and also completely unforgettable. At first I wasn’t sure I would enjoy a book that had a giant Pacific octopus as one of the narrators, but I shouldn’t haven’t worried because Marcellus ended up being the star of the show! This is a feel good book that also is deeply rooted in the realities (and challenges) of life….which is my kind of read. Remarkably Bright Creatures was recently this book…And when picked it as their May book club pick, the reading FOMO really hit me hard, and I knew I had to pick it up ASAP! You know those books that slowly make their way onto the reading scene and then they are absolutely everywhere?! This is a slow-moving examination of our character and their lives that ends in an emotional climax I found myself sobbing over the last couple chapters.Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What was your last five star read? He knows what a driver’s license is, but not what a football is), it took little away from my enjoyment. While I found Marcellus’ chapters to be cheesy and inconsistent at times (he knows what a barrette is, but not what a pacifier is. I found this to be an incredibly beautiful book it was slow to hook me but once it did I was all in.
Marcellus observes, and eventually intervenes in Tova’s life. Cameron struggles to hold a job and wants to find the father he’s never known. Tova lives alone, her husband recently deceased, and cleans the aquarium in the evenings, thinking about her long-ago missing son. These perspectives are all incredibly different. Remarkably Bright Creatures follows three perspectives: an older woman named Tova, a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus, and a young man named Cameron. On occasion, I have wondered whether I might have more intelligence in a single tentacle than a human does in its entire skull.
