Time's Arrow

This is the first book I've read by Martin Amis, and I will certainly be reading more after this one. I can't tell too much about this book without ruining the ending, but I highly recommend it. The novel is told in reverse -- it starts with the main character's death and each chapter moves backwards through his life. His consciousness observes the main character growing younger and younger up to the point of childhood, birth, and the moment before he becomes conscious. The structure was similar to Memento, although it predated Memento, and that only made it much more entertaining to read.
There is a surprise to who the character is and what he's done that I don't want to ruin, but I will say that when you learn the truth about the character, you won't be disappointed.
