Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-27 00:00:00 Jean-S�bastien Dalcourt This was an interesting little book about a life reviewed in reverse. Ray is not a very likeable adult, but as we watch his "progress" in reflections of events going backwards, we see a more rounded person, one we'd like to see do well in life. As a child, Ray wanted to and mostly did "do the right thing", even up to young adulthood. After that, his life takes a turn that happens to most people; he compromises his values, takes his life for granted, and in general, becomes jaded and little bitter. In that respect, Ray's a bit like "everyman". He started out so young and strong, only to surrender. See what I did there?

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-14 00:00:00 Timothy Addison Ray in Reverse (2000) Author: Daniel Wallace Read: 6/14/19 Rating: 2.5/5 **** Spoilers **** A Reverse Etheree for Reverse Ray Without Wallace's usual whimsy, but unique nonlinear format- his life anecdotes, told backwards; group therapy in heaven. Ray's hard to really like- worse in third person!- homophobic, unfaithful, callous, thief. Some stories on their own were short and sweet, fun and insightful- but together they make a puzzling partial portrait, frustratingly incongruous. A lame end for a second-rate read- Ray's "Last Words": "I wish… I had that penny." #Etheree #ReverseEtheree #PoemReview #fantasy #fatherson #heaven #infidelity #LGBT #lifereflections #marriage #nameastitle #nonlinear #reversechronology #therapy
