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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 52 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 18 in Mysteries (Books) 26 in Literary Fiction (Books) 30 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (137,430) | | Dimensions | 12.6 x 2.8 x 19.6 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1526649675 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1526649676 | | Item weight | 450 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | 20 July 2023 | | Publisher | Bloomsbury Publishing | ## Images ![Remarkably Bright Creatures: ‘That Octopus Book’, the international bestseller, now a major Netflix film - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jqzcP48zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An emotional, magical read *by R***A on 2 February 2026* I have to admit my heart sank when our book club suggested a book about an Octopus and an old lady.

This is easily the best book I have ever read. From the in-depth characters, the authors style of writing and the knowledge put into this book. It was perfect. The characters in this book where phenomenal. Each with their own unique personality and background story that enabled us as a reader to picture them and their stories perfectly. The book highlights some really interesting concepts, in that we often make our choices which lead to us harming ourselves, leading to conclusions when we don’t know the full picture. This book really made me think outside “the box” so to speak. The octopus- where do I start. If someone had told me I’d fall in love with an idea and personality of an octopus I would think they were mad. But honestly, the character of Marcellus was just beautiful. The relationships as they develop through the book had me welling up in several parts, and watching their stories unfold perfectly with all the pieces in the puzzle coming together was a masterpiece in itself. This was honestly one of the most heart warming- beautifully written books I’ve ever read. The easiest 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve ever given to a book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Remarkably Bright Creatures: Curl up with 'that octopus book' everyone is talking about - The Women: The Instant Number One Bestseller from the author of The Nightingale - All the Colours of the Dark: The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller – ‘a wonderful book’ (Richard Osman) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/488846132-remarkably-bright-creatures-that-octopus-book-the-international-bestseller-now](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/488846132-remarkably-bright-creatures-that-octopus-book-the-international-bestseller-now) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
