phwoarker 's review for:
Any Human Heart
by William Boyd
**Review from March 2011, transferred from Shelfari**
Tough going in parts but ultimately rewarding. Logan Mountstuart's incredible life spans the entirety of the twentieth century. Logan's diaries are vividly, and at times excruciatingly, real. This is because Any Human Heart is not a story, but a life. It doesn't have intricate plotlines neatly tied up, goodies and baddies, a happy ending or a sad ending (or really an ending) it is just one man's journey from cradle to grave shaped solely, according to the protagonist, by good and bad luck.
