In The Soul of an Octopus Sy Montgomery explores the world of octopuses. Octopuses are fascinating animals and the book is at its best when Montgomery provides facts about the animal, its abilities, its personality, and even its cognition. Though the author does have a tendency to go off the rails a bit when she strives to answer, or even consider, questions of a deeper more philosophical nature I would consider the book worth it for the factual parts.Definitely recommended for anyone with an interest in the smart animals we share a world with.
