I like the seasonal quartet for its timeliness, although the books have not all been successful to me as a reading experience. The main focus of these books is definitely the commentary on a lot of things that are going wrong in the world, not because these things just happen, but because the human race is behaving as they do. And I enjoyed reading Ali Smith's sharp writing and how she brings art into all of this.
This one though didn't leave a great impact on me and I couldn't really see what the purpose of this was. And I have already completely forgotten what it was about. Yes, there were still some smart sentences in it, but in my opinion this companion was one that should have stayed at home.
