Book Review By Tara Guillot
Any Human Heart by William Boyd

Logan Mountstuart keeps a journal, from his school days in 1923 through his death in 1991. Throughout his life, he writes, loves, works with fine art, and spies. He also meets the best of the best: Picasso, Hemingway, Ian Fleming, as they work through their careers. It is an interesting study of a life that seems so real, yet we know it is fictional.
