This is a philosophical treatise, not a quick read. Prepare to have a Google dictionary handy. I probably shouldn't have started this book while ill and loopy on meds. I thought I was sufficiently smart to read this but I'm not sure I am.

End of chapter 30...it's possible one or more of the characters is an unreliable narrator. We shall see!

Finally got half the mystery solved! Totally invested. Great rapid and absorbing plot up til now.

I find the book engaging but honestly not much has happened quite yet. Penelope is a first year college student at an Edinburgh university. She seems to have arrived at college with an ulterior motive, mainly to meet up with an old friend of her father's for whom was given her middle name. As many other reviewers stated so far there is nothing going on that has anything to do with octopi.

This is hard to read. The protagonist makes many mistakes and missteps which help lead to the consequences she faces. There is the suggestion that some events are unreliably understood or reported towards the end...

Waiting to see how it shakes out. The author is taking the climax right to the end of the book!

This book really irritated me when I first started it. The male main character immediately hits on someone he's supposed to be working with and too much attention is placed on women's appearance....but then the plot got interesting.

The novel toggles in between two time periods but it's well done and not too distracting.

I'm in the author's clutches now and I have to keep going!
