For anyone who hasn't heard about this fabulous and entirely life-affirming book please read on! This book is for you. A life filled to the very full, a life full of love, despair, happiness, sadness, war, peace, the New York City buzz and the lower hum of London. A life not many can lay claim to, but one so inspiring you will find yourself compelled to action you would previously have scorned.Logan Mountstuart's life is richly laid out for you. The diary-style entries bring at times something wonderfully remorseful and at others a dazzling depiction of life's endeavours. At times pretentious, at times sickeningly cringeworthy and always a challenge to accept the realities of life. For friends are not always your friends for life. Life causes rifts along the way, we morph and grow, becoming versions of ourselves - the people we once were changed and almost too distorted to be recognised. This book will make you think, it will throw into contrast your own life (now granted this is fiction!) but it will make you question your own propensity for life and all of the riches it provides. Risks are there to be taken, for you have no idea what one door will lead to.
I was recommended this book by 3 separate people. Before that I was not convinced I would enjoy it - I am a girl and this book is about a man's life, from schoolboy days to old age - but do you know what? I would definitely say this is one of the best books I've read in 2014.
This is a classic from the modern age and well deservedly so. Now do grab yourself a copy of this phenomenal book and prepare for your mind to be blown!
