Octopus started reading Many Things under a Rock by David Scheel
I just finished reading a book about octopuses and enjoyed it a lot. I wanted to read more about octopuses,and this was the only other book at my library about octopuses.
Reviews and Comments
I've only just begun reading books this year after having refused to read anything outside of mandatory reading for school my entire life. I'm excited to explore the world of books and find what I like. I tend to enjoy world building, adventure, fantasy, and comedy in other media, so I assume my taste will be similar in regards to books.

It was an enjoyable read. It wasn't much of an exploration of consciousness like the title suggests. It was more the story of the author discovering her love of octopuses. It was interesting to read and I did learn a lot. I think this books is a good introduction to octopuses with a slightly misleading title.

This was recommended to me by because I mentioned I liked Lonesome Dove and fantasy. So far it's really good, I've been loving the world building. (I was late to posting that I had started reading this)

I love the world and a lot of the side characters, but I don't like the main character. It feels like he is constantly digging himself into a deeper hole and it seems like his life and personal life only get worse. He has frustrated me quite a bit, so while I enjoy the world building and the side characters I will take a break from reading the series.

I enjoyed the second book more than the first, so I'm looking forward to maybe liking this one even more. The world building has been pretty engaging.

Fool Moon was pretty good. This one felt a more intense and exciting than Storm Front (the first book of the series). There were some scenes that felt overly gruesome for me and some sexual scenes that I didn't really like. Overall good though. I started out a bit annoyed with the main characters lack of trust and how he was portraying it as necessary, so even though It was sad I enjoyed the fact that he had to face some consequences for that way of thinking.

I enjoyed the first book in the series. The world seemed pretty interesting, so I'm looking forward to how the world expands in this one.

To be honest I didn't really understand this one. It felt like a lot was going on and I had a hard time keeping track of it all. There were quite a few story lines that were fun, but I felt like they often got cut off too soon to move on to something else, but that might just be because I'm used to a long main story.
