Summary
Named to the American Library Association’s Reference & User Services (RUSA) Listen List!
Combining the emotional depth of The Art of Racing in the Rain with the magical spirit of The Life of Pi, Lily and the Octopus is an epic adventure of the heart.
When you listen to Lily and the Octopus, you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the listening, and we don't want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can't live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion, Lily, who happens to be a dog.
Lily and the Octopus reminds us how it feels to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go, and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all.
Remember the last book you told someone they had to listen to? Lily and the Octopus is the next one.

sweet story
3 stars because too much about the octopus, dog and man were sufficient by themselves

Such a beautiful book
The story of Lily is one everyone should hear! I sobbed and ugly cried so hard and held my pugs whilst listening to this beautiful story. It reminds us that every day is a blessing when we have dogs in our lives and we would go to the ends of the earth to keep them safe. The book works through grief and love and all the other red balls life throws at us!
This story has a new place in my heart and I will recommend it to everyone.
The performance was also immaculate and I actually found this book from the voice actors other book “Remarkably bright creatures” where he voices an octopus.

Much 'bigger' book than I'd expected -brilliant!
This book was not what I thought it would be. Rather than being a cutesie bootsk about a man with his dog, it tells A much more emotional and deep story with real humour and laugh-out-loud bits. The pace of the book kept going right the way to the end and the narration was well-paced and exceptional.

To die will be an awfully big adventure.
J.M. Barrie
I loved this book, it felt personal and real, made of true love for someone that is not consider a someone but an it, it expressed the love some of us have for our pets and how much they affect our lives with theirs.
Beautifully written this was a real find that made me happy and sad but left me a big lump of love.
An awfully big adventure.

Lily and the Octopus
This book is strange but enjoyable. It tells the story of Ted, a gay guy from Los Angeles and his one true love, his dog, Lily!

Very silly book
Just silly - would be enough to just be about a dog and his dog. No need to bring the “octopus” alive.
