## Description

Buy Remarkably Bright Creatures: 'That Octopus Book', the major bestseller coming to Netflix soon - Cover May Vary by Van Pelt, Shelby from desertcart's Fiction Books Store. Everyday low prices on a huge range of new releases and classic fiction.

Review: An emotional, magical read - I have to admit my heart sank when our book club suggested a book about an Octopus and an old lady. That soon changed as I became invested in the characters and the lyrical prose. The ending actually made me cry…and I loved Marcellus the octopus!
Review: Worth reading but I struggled - I had high hopes for 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' as I have been learning about octopuses and am quite in awe of them. It seemed then completely wonderful to find a book with an octopus as the central character, but this book isn't quite that. Marcellus the octopus is the character that I am left with a lasting impression of and I am so glad that I met him in this book. He is fascinating, funny, wise, and magical and the book is worth reading just for the role he plays. Several of the other characters are also likeable and tenderly drawn. This is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving, sometimes annoying, and sometimes faintly tedious book and I found myself forcing my way through the middle section. There was enough to keep me reading, but only just. It is worth persevering for the ending though and, of course, for Marcellus. If you love octopuses you will be glad that you read this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An emotional, magical read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remarkable Marcellus
*by C***H on 29 January 2026*

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Took a little while to get into it, but once I was in I couldn’t put it down. I thought Marcellus, the octopus was very clever and it was thanks to him Tova found her Grandson. This book did make me cry.
