BOOK: The Humans (2013) by Matt Haig

It is a love story and a murder story and a what-are-we-here-for? story. It is about humans.

We all liked it, some even loved it, all except one. There’s always one isn’t there? Nick thought it was fine but was ultimately disappointed

MUSIC: Reproduction (1979) by The Human League

Robin was not familiar with the synth pop landmark 1979 release and was a tad disappointed, Empire State Human aside.

We were expecting something along the lines of Cinema Paradiso, which we really enjoyed. Roberto Begnini’s full on slapstick was too much for many. Generally annoying but sporadically charming. It’s a big hearted film that many love, including Tristan
