enniscath 's review for:

Any Human Heart by William Boyd
4.0

It took me a couple of attempts to get into this book, largely because the protagonist - an author, whose life story is told through the pages of his diary - was not the most sympathetic character as a young man. However, I liked him (and consequently the book) more and more as I read further and he started branching out into more interesting diversions than just studying (I am sick of books set in universities), writing (I am getting sick of books about writers), and cheating on his various partners. Very glad I persevered.
