Is the octopus omnipotent? He just snatched Cameron’s license and hid it for Tova to find, but like, why would he know that would help her?? We as readers just found out Tova now knows about Cameron’s mom, but Marcellus doesn’t know that, so what is this supposed to achieve in his eyes?

Ok so they just did an entire reveal with Cameron and Tova being related, and like, doesn’t that take the whole piss out of the rest of the book? Simon isn’t Cameron’s dad, it’s Erik (he’s got his high school ring, that’s why it says EELS on it, Erik Ernest Lindgren Sullivan) they look alike, act alike, all that. So why have the rest of the book if we know the big reveal??? I have to be missing something

For all the grief Tova has for her lost son Erik, she has almost none at all for her dead husband Will. We hardly know anything about the guy and yet. It’s like he’s haunting the narrative, so little is said about him despite all the memories Tova supposedly has with him.
