2.0

I seem to be in the minority in finding this rather underwhelming.
Our narrator is a gecko that used to be human. The chapters are brief to the point of feeling incoherent at times, and there is no plot to speak of.
A series of thoughts on life and things people encounter. Some of the sections caught my interest but as a whole I’m struggling to find much to say about this.
