I do not understand some other reviews: do not love either! But compare it to "Harlequin"! Amazing! To ask whether we all talking about the same book! Also see in him a thriller suggests a misunderstanding (as well as reduce "Life on the lookout" for a spy novel is false). In short you will understand that I consider that this work is of great BOYD (but there are ways?) The building with its implacable logic, the description of London's fourth world (how we take care of Ly-on!), The excesses of the industry (which is reminiscent of "The Constant Gardener" or "Brazzaville beach "- albeit in a somewhat different register - or even" The brain Kennedy "), more or less sectarian abuses, the policing of our lives through chip, cameras, various maps ... etc, etc ... C east of rose water, all that? The humor as always with W. Boyd is present but less than usual, forcing about. Only the end of the novel is a bit disappointing. In a nutshell: a great novel to read emergency.
