There are so many characters that I feel like there is little to no character development. Characters are simply good or bad based on their association with Viridans. There isn’t much nuance or complexity and interactions are all quite superficial.

I’m confused on the purpose of this book. It seems to be commenting on the environmental destructiveness of humans, but the writing is choppy and bizarre. The author fluctuates between unnecessarily “scientific” words to childish descriptions. For example, why were there several sentences dedicated to a joke on “wanking”? And “grippy stairs”?
