Ali Smith

3.84 AVERAGE


ali smith understands the complexities of human connections to a meticulous degree, and writes them with that same care. parts of this book dragged for me a little, but it’s the same as spending time with family.

Dnf @ 45 percent ish

So so boring and pretentious
So slow
Too introspective and gimmicky. Charm has worn off of Autumn writing style

It says nothing

So self indulgent

1 extra star for the beginning

Vuodenaikakvartetin eka osa sykähdytti valtavasti. Odotukset olivat tällekin siis suuret, mutta tämän kyytiin oli selvästi vaivalloisempi nousta. Kuitenkin jälleen jäi sellainen olo, että tämän pariin tulen palaamaan, Smithin valloittava kieli ja ilmava kerronta vetää puoleensa <3

I really like the writing style, and the plot and characters are very interesting and seem real… but theres something missing i cant put my finger on so I cant give it 5*

Ali Smith always takes me on such a journey. i don't have many words to describe this book but i just can't get enough of Smith's writing. surreal, cinematic, hilarious, passionate, vivid. thank you
