A review by ladyr
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
3.0
An absorbing page turner but I felt this was not as good as "any human heart" or some of his other novels.
I failed to really identify or be gripped by any of the main characters and the ending was a little too ambiguous for my liking - I don't mind some questions being left unanswered but I felt as if Boyd almost got bored of it all at the end and the plot lost strength and pace.
The book is quite short so if you like a spy novel give it a go but other writers give you more suspense and intrigue for your money.
