I will be at book club on Monday but wanted to leave a note ahead to say that I’ve stopped reading this book as I just couldn’t get any further with it : (https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/f/forum/2402/book-club---seven-recipes-for-revolution-by-ryan-rose---discussion-page/10632Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:06:00 GMTb28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:23c33cb6-7236-4ab1-baee-9e932a363451Leighs03Unfortunately I have not received the book and unable to leave any feedback.https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/f/forum/2402/book-club---seven-recipes-for-revolution-by-ryan-rose---discussion-page/10631Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:54:00 GMTb28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:abad90db-3a4e-4296-b1d6-c9cac67dfd74MumJbSimilar to other reviews it would not be something I would choose, very difficult to follow a lot of unnecessary detail.

It's not a book I can say I'm particularly enjoying. I'm not invested in the main character and I find the story confusing. I'll carry on but its more of a chore than a pleasure!https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/f/forum/2402/book-club---seven-recipes-for-revolution-by-ryan-rose---discussion-page/10575Mon, 09 Nov 2026 16:46:00 GMTb28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:68cf795a-08cc-439f-b376-629048c59e8drhiannonBF25Seven Recipes for Revelation – 4/10 – Sink My audiobook never arrived, so I ended up listening to it on Spotify. 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!https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/f/forum/2385/film-club-discussion-page-for-wicker-cinema-and-just-mercy-home-film/10574Mon, 09 Nov 2026 16:40:00 GMTb28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:41e7337a-068c-4009-8400-42d8f36c8dacrhiannonBF25Sorry, but I won’t be able to make tonight’s meeting. I haven’t managed to watch the films this month either, as we’ve had quite a lot going on with family, including relatives in hospital in different parts of the country. It’s been a bit of a hectic and stressful time. Hopefully things will have settled down by next month and I’ll be able to join you all again.

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'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'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'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'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'm definitely looking forward to hearing what everyone else thinks!
