The Zoom meeting on the 28th August was different and expectantly engaging. Four members volunteered to briefly speak on a film or a book of their choice, which they would recommend to others.To say what in their opinion made it great, interesting, impactful and memorable.
The four selected reviews included :- the Academy Award for Best Picture film Casablanca, made in 1942. The books were :- Unnatural causes by top pathologist Dr. Richard Shepherd. A unique insight into a remarkable profession which fascinated this reviewer. The unusual, long, title was what attracted this reviewer to look at this book :- Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, was published in 2008. The authors Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows wrote this International best seller, historical novel, which was made into a film in 2018. The final review was on a selection of Science Fiction Books By sci fi Author Peter F Hamilton and covered The Reality of Dysfunction , Pandoras Star and The Great North Road . A fascinating genre for this reviewer who explained why and how he finds Sci FI and “horror” books so enthralling. A meeting with a difference thanks to our reviewers , Siva, June, Barbara and Andrew.
