In this novel a man's life is portrayed backwards, from death to birth, as are some of the scenes - for example, sex begins with climax, moves through foreplay and exhausts itself on flirtation. The plot is about a doctor whose story begins with his death. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

I found this difficult to get to grips with, but some of the scenes are incredibly affecting even though they're written in a matter-of-fact kind of way.

I found this a dreadful book. Although I read it from cover to cover I did not understand a word. This book needs binning but I am going to release it.
