Well, if you want to never eat sushi again, this is the book for you. I've long known octopuses are bizarre, incredible, and intelligent creatures, but this book does a fantastic job exploring the writer's journey into learning just how bizarre, incredibly, and intelligent they are. I learned stuff. I cried about dead octopuses. I changed my opinions on aquariums multiple times. It's emotional, thought-provoking, and pretty much guarantees my takoyaki eating days are over.
