Matthew Poat's latest update for Squids In

Jul 7, 2016

Today I thought I would share some of the nice things various people have said about SQUIDS IN during its campaign, not just to give myself a much needed ego boost going into the final week of the contest but also to show the level of support that other people have shown for this project over the past few weeks. Thanks guys!

A hilariously unique concept, engagingly written and adorably illustrated. Also gaming, profanity, and a naughty monkey. Sign me up! Jaye Milius


The opening excerpt of ’Squids In’ is packed with humor and over-the-top awkwardness. So obviously, I’m enjoying it immensely!  Ken Lindsey


Big fan of the man and the book. A game playing cephalopod - what more could you want? Pre-order now!  Peter Ryan


This is so creative. I could hardly believe the premise when I first read it, then I continued reading... and I was hooked!  Stephanie Brooke


Yes, please.  J. Danielle Dorn


An octopus gamer?! Yes please.  Brian Guthrie


I’ve certainly not seen a concept like this before, and it’s absolutely great! Give it a look, and consider a pre order!  H. Wardrope


Okay, this exactly what I needed. What a riot! You need a fun read at the end of the day, and this fits the bill.  Lauren Drube


Very fun read! Check it out  Dann Matias


THIS  Thad Woodman


Somewhere, OCTODAD IS SMILING!  Dom L


Love it  Claireg24


A slacker surprised by an octopus in the pool, I’m curious if they will eat snacks and play games. can’t wait to find out! come check it out!  Joshua Griffith


A great book from a great Author. One not to miss.  Jamie


A great Read!  Nell Walton


This is my daddy’s book. He tells me it is very good but that I’m not allowed to read it yet because it’s not a children’s book.  William Poat


I’ve competed in E-sports and the twitch-factor required for top tier fame is insane. Squids In hits on a funny and sarcastic note of gaming. Who is really behind that keyboard typing in ’gg.’? I’m rooting for the cephalopod myself and you should as well. For too long E-Sport dominance has been held by specific regions! It’s time for a new champion to rise and crush the competition in the name eight-legged critters everywhere.  Rick Heinz


A squid named Hendrix turns out to be a heck of a competitive gamer. This is my kind of book!  Tony Valdez


Although I highly doubt an Octopus could beat me in Dota2, Starcraft, or even Hearthstone, I look forward to seeing Poat pull it off!  Jamison Stone


Loving this hilarious concept! Check it out! Chelsea C. Moye
