After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

It was so easy to become absorbed in the story. Many things happening but told in a way that delighted and did not create anxiety.. I need a story like that. Hopefully I can find more.. Thank you.

an amazing story
Revisado: 04-18-22
I enjoyed the narrators telling the story. They made it very easy to become enthralled into the suspense . The story was raw and compelling. It is such a good story to help understand the confusing of truths and helplessness of how can a person help in such a time of need. It was a very good listen for me. Thank you

Holly Ash is good actor. Just one downside: Most of the people she’s acting with have no idea they’re a part of her fiction. One that has been carefully constructed by the secretive company that Holly works for, known as D.O.P.L. Every assignment is a new role, a new name, a completely new self. Her newest role is “Margot” and her newest target: a boy her age named Will Aldrich.

In January 2019, culture writer Anne Helen Petersen set the internet on fire with her viral BuzzFeed essay diagnosing “millennial burnout” - a chronic state of stress and exhaustion that’s become a “base temperature” for young people today. Now, she continues this generation-defining conversation in a brand-new format, interviewing millennials around the country about their own deeply personal experiences with burnout, and the culture that creates it.

In 1912, scientist Marie Curie spent two months on the British seaside at the home of Hertha Ayrton, an accomplished mathematician, inventor, and suffragette. At the time, Curie was in the throes of a scandal in France over her affair with Paul Langevin, which threatened to overshadow the accomplishment of her second Nobel Prize. Performed by Kate Mulgrew and Francesca Faridany at the Minetta Lane Theatre, this play by Lauren Gunderson is an ode to two remarkable women.

Enthralling Story
Revisado: 12-21-16
What did you love best about Neverwhere?
I loved this story. It kept pushing my imagination further and further. Only a few times I suspected what was to happen and those events twisted more . I am anxious to hear more of the lives of these and new characters... an excellent read.
What other book might you compare Neverwhere to and why?
I love this sort of story..each is unique and difficult to compare. So many characters. but not enough to get confused..
What about Neil Gaiman’s performance did you like?
Easy listening, no squeaky made up female voices.. just his manner of speaking and growling as bad guys spoke was entertaining
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I listened to this book straight thru...It was easy to listen to and keep busy..It was like moving in a movie...
Any additional comments?
When I was listening and began looking for more books by the author. I was delighted to find many options...

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.
