Good look at fascinating creatures

I enjoyed this book. Dr. Danna Staaf has created a fun read. All the science is well-explained and Staaf writes with a good sense of humor. There is some clever wording in the book and some puns. I also like that Staaf includes a little about her own journey in the book. I feel that it creates a closer bond between writer and reader. The art in the book is excellent. The one fault with the book is that some of the notes at the end contain clarifying information but most are citations. I think that the clarifying notes should have been on the relevant page. Aside from that, it is an excellent book. I recommend it for anyone interested in biology.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.

As someone totally new to the world of cephalopods I found this book fascinating. I love that Danna Staaf doesn't talk down to the reader, instead invites them into the lives of the Monarchs of the Sea.
