Review of "Any Human Heart"

by Roger on Sun 5th Jan 2014.

Started well, but became full of flaws as sympathy for the central character ebbed. Multiple use of deus ex machina to allow the plot to move on and ultimately unconvincing and uninteresting. The spurious name dropping was to no real effect - compare with the 100 Year Old Man Who… where it was played much better.
