I have to admit, the question of how an entity foreign to this planet would view certain things has occupied my thoughts on more than one occasion. This is pretty much what is at the centre of The Humans by Matt Haig, and he pulls it off amazingly. The thing is, it's pretty mind blowing to think exactly how much would be foreign, strange and unusual to something that isn't used to it. Even the way we behave, so managing to get us to feel that way is quite an accomplishment! Yes, I'm sure if you study it carefully there will be a few things where you would go 'How would an alien know about that?' but I'm pretty sure you'd have to go looking for them.

Ultimately Haig has written a convincing story that makes you truly think about your own existence, and that's a brilliant achievement.

Movie Favorite

"It’s a great movie, Italian, post-Second World War. These are all going to be foreign films. Miracle of Milan, I can’t even remember the plot, but when you asked me my favorite films, it just hit me again. It’s a story out of the wreckage of the Second World War, and the people finding a way and a reason to go forward. And that’s why it’s called a miracle"
