<h3>Time's Arrow - Martin Amis</h3>
<br>
This haunting look at the literally backwards life of a Nazi doctor is a fresh way of telling the holocaust story, but creates a disturbing impression of "I didn't know what I was doing."  Told from the perspective of this man's conscience, you never experience the feelings of guilt, humility or horror I'm sure affected most post-Holocaust Nazis.
<br><br>
I don't understand what Amis was going for with the style.  Maybe at the time of printing the "backwards" style was new, but I feel like now it's been overdone, and that it's inappropriate for the topic.  Maybe not inappropriate, but it doesn't add as much as I was hoping it would.
