This book was not for me, I found the voice of the male protagonist very unbelievable, and the characters and plot were not particularly interesting. Plus

the octopus narrator was like an annoying intellectual, which I didn't find very interesting as far as attempts at writing octopus consciousness.

Absolutely beautiful and real and makes me want to go hug my friends.

The vampires are quite secondary and I didn't like the writing style. Personally, I found it hard to fully immerse myself in the book.
