G-------d allllllllmighty.
I lasted 120 pages before I had to give up in disgust.
The implications of the reverse-time world do not meet
up with what the characters do in the novel.
My mind forced me to abandon the effort -- rarely to I
find to guts to drop a book in mid-read.
In reverse-time the characters recent past would be
cloudy and their future certain. The concept is difficult
to write about it a way that calms logical minds.
In the story, one or twice a day the characters vist the toilet
sitting down and scoop wet paper out of the bowl
that suddenly appears when the toilet reverse flushes by
its own power? GROSS!!!
Wouldn't fetuses have to crawl back into the wombs that
gave them birth?
Good God what an awful book!!
Protect your well-being, read "A Scanner Darkly" instead.
