I managed to listen to most of it but ran out of hours before I got to the end. It really wasn’t my kind of book, to be honest. I found it quite hard to follow at times, and with limited listening hours, I couldn’t go back over bits I hadn’t quite understood, which didn’t help. I never really got into it and can’t say I was too disappointed when I ran out of listening time! 4/10 – Sink!</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Film Club Discussion Page for: Wicker (Cinema) and Just Mercy (Home Film)</title><link>https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/f/forum/2385/film-club-discussion-page-for-wicker-cinema-and-just-mercy-home-film/10574</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2026 16:40:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:41e7337a-068c-4009-8400-42d8f36c8dac</guid><dc:creator>rhiannonBF25</dc:creator><description>Sorry, but I won’t be able to make tonight’s meeting.

The villagers cruel treatment of the Fisherwoman ultimately leads to their own downfall, as their lack of empathy boomerangs back on them. The films ending is a powerful example of poetic justice, as those who lived by deceit and arrogance are left to face the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile, the outcasts find freedom, family and happiness together. Wicker is a cinematic treasure that reminds us of the transformative power of kindness and love.

I feel like the premise was good, but the execution, for me, was definitely lacking. The initial descriptions of butchering an animal (albeit a fictional, mythical creature) whilst it was still alive was the first thing that made me think this book wasn&amp;#39;t for me. But I pushed on through and persevered. Unfortunately, as the story (sort of) developed, I kept getting lost in the details. The terminology became confusing, and I was never sure who was good and who was bad. I turned to Google so many times for clarification and found none. I couldn&amp;#39;t keep track of the creatures. There was a lot of waffle. I skipped over the recipes, and found the descriptions of food and cooking cheesy and overly sentimental. I don&amp;#39;t think we needed the pronoun references every time a character was introduced. The romance was laughable and the dialogue around it was cringe worthy. There were moments of absolute death and destruction, but then the story just kept moving forward, and it felt like those deaths/ruins were just forgotten. I couldn&amp;#39;t understand how Paprick could return to classes after the initial conflicts. I just found the whole thing to be a messy, sprawling tale of confusion. Maybe I should listen to the audiobook to see if that improves the experience! I&amp;#39;m definitely looking forward to hearing what everyone else thinks!</description></item></channel></rss>
