A review by janiev
The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer

3.0

The story of a man who is born old and ages backwards. Max falls in love with a young girl, but his timing is all wrong. Even though he is actually the same age, he inhabits a body of an older man. The love Max has for Alice is a constant for him and in the book they cross paths. Of course he remembers her, but she meets him new each time.

It is an interesting concept. My draw back was I kept wanting to compare it to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is a personal favorite. It is never wise to do so, but hard not to.
