“Trio” was so much better. This was a bit disappointing. Some parts were better than others, which is what kept me going.

Diary format storytelling which rarely works for me

Really great read. The beginning had shades of Adrian Mole which made me smile. Fictional account of a man's life from late teens until old age during interesting times through his diary entries. I found it gripping and had a few tears. There are several famous or historical people mentioned that put me in mind of Forest Gump. Shows the extraordinary in the everyday and ordinary. Clever writer - I want to read more of him

I had heard many great things about this book and generally speaking it is very good and enjoyable. The whole-life narrative naturally lends itself to meaningful reflection and themes but I found the final third of the book pretty weak compared to the rest. The author seemed in a rush for Logan to be depicted in various locations and scenarios in later life, unnecessarily so in my opinion. Still, well worth reading.
