Book 11 of the 50 Book Challenge

The Story of the Scene by Roger Clarke, 164 pages


Started January 14th, finished February 22nd.

At work I like to have what I call a 'titbit' book to read.  I don't get much reading time so I need something I can dip in and out of.  Something I can leave over the weekend or while I go away and not lose the plot.

This is perfect for that it's the truth behind some famous, some not so famous, but always memorable scenes in cinema history.  The author has done his research and delved beyond the myths to tell us the truth, which is often just as interesting.  There are plenty of scenes discussed.  You'd be hard pressed not to have one of your favourite films in there.  I'd definitely recommend it to any cinephile.  Or quiz aficionado, there's  plenty of trivia in there.
