Review: An acquired taste - Great book but it is all about the subject matter so a matter of taste
Review: When the Wind Blows - Very enjoyable read good if you like modern history, it is just as relevant nowadays as when I first read it forty years ago what with the war in Ukraine and the increased international tension.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An acquired taste
*by B***T on 15 November 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When the Wind Blows
*by K***R on 20 May 2025*

Very enjoyable read good if you like modern history, it is just as relevant nowadays as when I first read it forty years ago what with the war in Ukraine and the increased international tension.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great reminder of what life was like in 50s and 60s
*by M***E on 20 January 2024*

A wonderful read and exploration of life back then. Written during the days of real James Bonds, the Cold War and of the Iron Curtain; this little book not only eloquently portrays the anguish of these times (through which many of us lived) but also the heartache of blissful (wanton) ignorance of Truth; the deniability of the truth, by fear. I was recently reminded of this book by Sam, (thank you) the animation of which I had seen only in parts. Having read the book now, I feel that with the current polarisation of public/political views and opinions, this little book is a poignant reminder of the unstable times in which we now live; and that to trust our own observations rather than banded straplines and sensationalist headlines, will always be a personal rather than a manipulated choice. "When the Wind Blows" by ©️ Raymond Biggs, first published in 1982 and animated in 1986 staring Peggy Ashcroft and John Mills.
