The Second Chances of Priam Wood
Priam Wood is a painter, but when the colors of his life coalesce in unwanted ways, he is unable to change the canvas he has created. While he dies alone with no one at his side, he longs for his ballerina Ellie to return, but she is gone and there is no way to get her back…or is there? Death greets Priam in the form of a white abyss where a golden retriever informs him that he has the chance to relive the seven days of his life that he regrets the most. Before each of his second chances begin however, Priam must first relive each of the seven days the original way they happened, as a passenger within his own body, witnessing the day for what it was while being unable to do anything at all. He has to live through the death of his mother, the end of his relationship with his brother, the tragedy that befalls his son Charlie, and the loss of his one true love Ellie all over again. During his journey, he is able to amend occurrences in certain ways, but in doing so, his second chances are put on an entirely new trajectory. The seven days are connected and thus, as he begins to alter events that happened during his life, what he comes to fix later on no longer even exists. When he reaches the end, his second days are incomparable to how his life originally went. The Second Chances of Priam Wood is a story about realizing that not everything that happens in our lives can be explained, and that regardless of the tribulations we face, we must never give up.

We all have regrets. Is it a mistake to wish that you could remake your life by changing the choices you made? This is the central question of Alexander Rigby's first novel, *The Second Chances of Priam Wood.* Exhibiting subtle elements of magical realism, or at the least a metaphysical outlook, the novel gives its protagonist a literal chance to relive his life.
Rigby shows us the evocative, tragic first version of his protagonist's life, along with his alternative choices and their results, which represent the outcome of a worldview based on love, self-belief, and the rejection of anger. *Second Chances* is the debut of a promising storyteller.
It doesn't push it on you, but there's a subtle message here about how to live your life, and it's a good one, full of positivity. From of the tragedy of Priam's first chances, in the second we wring redemption.
By a third or so of the way in, there were moments where I had my iPhone up close to my face and was leaning in to the story--I finished off a whole chapter while drinking beer at a Japanese restaurant in Thailand. I thoroughly recommend *The Second Chances of Priam Wood*--it's a story that grows on you, populated by characters that grow on you, and its literary game of spot the difference becomes thoroughly enthralling.

This book was actually very beautiful.
I was lucky enough to win a free copy

The things he had done wrong.
He is given a chance to change 7 days of his life,
But the first day will change how the next days play out.
He is given a second chance to relive and fix what he had done wrong.
This book is definitely worth reading.
Just...wow.

The Second Chances of Priam Wood brings about many thought provoking feelings. Priam Wood is a man who always means well, but somehow seems to do or say the wrong thing as well as seemingly miss important opportunies. As Wood passes away, he finds that he is given the chance to relive seven days of his life. Without hesitation, he jumps at this opportunity. We, the readers, are brought along on these "redo's" after first reliving the orginal happenstance.
What is most interesting about this book is how it makes you feel. Rigby immediately draws you into his characters and I quickly felt like a member of the family watching from afar. Although I could definately feel Priam's angst in regards to certain events and outcomes of his life and the people he holds closest to him, I constantly worried for him for is the grass always greener on the other side? Not only that, but if you change how something originally happened, how will it affect everything after that?
Do things happen for a reason? Is life like a Rube Goldberg Machine? What will happen if I choose the path on the right instead of the left? These are all thoughts that I contemplated as I read this novel. If not for our mistakes, how will we learn?
Alexander Rigby wrote a book that not only made me feel, but think. There were times I wanted to hug Priam, but also slap him or sit him down to have a good talking to. I wanted to read about his life. I wanted him to be love and be loved. I wanted him to realize the importance of his life. Do we all harbor regrets? Most certainly. But isn't that what makes the world go round? If we all knew the exact right decision to make at each moment of our lives, it would be easy. But if life was easy, would it be as interesting?
I realize as I write this summation of my thoughts that I am still asking questions. However, I believe that a good book should make you ask questions. It should make you want to read it and it should simply make you want more. This book achieved all of that for me and I am looking forward to reading more, more, more from Rigby.

Basing your first novel on a man who goes back in time is a challenging venture. Interacting in the past with knowledge of the future, makes for complexities that surely arise at each turn in the plot. Mixing multiple story lines and timelines, a beautiful love story and constantly evolving and devolving characters only adds to the complexity. There is a bit of magic, and surprises abound, particularly in the conclusion. With his time-bending debut, Alexander Rigby mostly overcomes these challenges by fashioning a novel that is flawed, but heartfelt, passionate and ultimately satisfying.
This is a huge undertaking. Where confusion might reign, reasoned delineation instead follows. Furthermore, Rigby not only devises a plot line, but he does so with some artistic merit. He clearly loves to put words together.
Priam Wood is highly sensitive, irrational, careless, and loving. His love for his eventual wife, Ellie, is limitless and timeless - and hers for him. It is obvious they are meant for each other. Both characters are well-conceived and realized through the writing, and both (especially Priam) progress. The other characters, from Danny, Priam's brother; to Charlie, Priam's son; to Priam's mother, are forced by the interwoven, parallel timelines to progress, regress, progress, but they do so plausibly. This is a plot-driven work, but the characters move believably with it - a credit to Rigby's talent.
There are times when Rigby over-writes when he instead should rein in. A seasoned, firm editor would have helped him focus his vision to moving the plot consistently forward and helped to cut unnecessary text. Also, his love of word play and sentence construction sometimes clouds his intent. But as I've told writing students in the past, it is generally better to give the reader too much than too little.
Rigby has crafted a solid debut. The flaws exhibited in Second Chances will no doubt give way to increased confidence and skill. I am guessing that this will be immediately apparent in his next work because this is a writer who cares about his craft.

When Priam Wood dies he is given the opportunity to repeat seven days of his life. First he becomes a passenger in his own body, witnessing a day exactly as it originally occurred, and then he has a precious second chance to actively relive that day in order to try and put right mistakes he’s made and hopefully alter key events. At the end of the seven days, the big question is, “Which was the better life?”
This is a wonderfully complex, utterly enthralling book, and hats off to the author for choosing a structure that works perfectly to show the original life and the increasingly different new one.
I was very impressed by the way in which the author convincingly takes Priam from childhood through adolescence into the stages of adulthood to old age, and how his relationships with his mother, brother, children, and wife, Ellie, develop. Each one is detailed and heart-felt, with his love for his wife engaging me the most. The concept of Priam the artist and Ellie the ballet dancer has a natural romance at its heart, and their glorious heady youthful love through to the painful complexities of later years is beautifully expressed.
However, as much as I enjoyed the story and many aspects of the author’s writing style, I found it too wordy. I do feel a little awkward making this comment about someone who has a clear talent for writing, but the over-writing got in the way on a number of occasions. For example, for me, the detailed explanation after the end of the seventh day reduced the impact and mystery of this amazingly creative and thoughtful work.
I will definitely be looking out for Alexander Rigby’s next book. I sense that I’ve found an author who is on the verge of a very exciting writing career.

Have you ever suffered from regret? Do you believe in second chances? If you were given the chance to relive the most regrettable days of your life, would you? Author Alexander Rigby looks at these questions in his debut novel, "The Second Chances of Priam Wood."
As he floats through some kind of afterlife holding space immediately following his death at 70 years old, Priam Wood is visited by the last living soul who loved him on earth, his dog, Chloe. Chloe magically grants him the opportunity to relive the seven days he regretted most in his life, and he can make any changes that he would like in order to rectify his mistakes. The catch? Priam has to live the days as they originally occurred first before he can make the changes he so desperately wants to make. The journey he embarks on in the quest to save love and create happiness is both painful and full of hope.
In this touching novel, Rigby explores the ideas of love, family, life and death in a unique way through experiences relived in the life of his main character. Through extensive dialogue and memory playback, we see how Priam learns more about himself, his capacity for love, and how mistakes shaped his life through his deepest regrets. We learn through his story that even though we may try to rectify previous mistakes, real life will never be free of pain. After all is said and done, would you choose the seven days as they occurred originally in your life? Or would you choose the altered days, with the potential for a whole new set of personal tragedies? "The Second Chances of Priam Wood" gives readers a creative way to weigh the consequences of regret and second chances in one man’s life.

The depth of this story astounded me. I read The Second Chances of Priam Wood while relaxing; however, I also read it while doing dishes, brushing my teeth, walking down the hall, cooking dinner, etc... My life was rearranged around making time to devour this novel and I stole every spare moment available. Everyday activities were disregarded. If you're looking for a book that will haunt you for days to come...this is it.
Alexander Rigby writes a fascinating tale that poses the question, "If you could re-live seven days of your life, which would you choose and would you do it?" Written in a mature voice, this story takes us on an adventure through the life of Priam Wood. Intricately woven on multiple parallels, Priam guides you through the journey of his seven chosen days; the original way and with potential for a second chance.
Rigby's characters (human and canine) are both lovable and believable, each flawed in their own unique way. You'll laugh, cry, sympathize and empathize from the first page to the last. On numerous occasions, I found myself immersed deep within in the story and unable to put it down. The realism within Priam, Ellie, Danny, Moira, etc... gripped me like a vice with complex layers of characterization and how they related to the plot. Literally, I felt as if I was inside this book...living life alongside the characters.
Five stars to Alexander Rigby for a job well done. With a book this stellar, I'm anxious to see what his imagination comes up with next.

What would you do if given the chance to have a "do-over" for seven days of your life that had regrettable endings? This is the premise of Alexander Rigby's novel 'The Second Chances of Priam Wood'. For seventy year-old Priam, life has dealt him a line of heartache. There is so much grief that one can only feel sympathy for him. When his life comes to a close, he meets an unexpected friend, his cherished dog Chloe. Able to communicate with Priam, she explains that he is in neither heaven nor hell. She gives him the chance to relive seven days of his life that may have changed his overall direction as well as the direction of those he loves. Then, he is given the chance to live the days again and possess the need to change the situation.
When I began this novel, I was afraid that I would not be able to separate the original day from the second chance day. However, as I continued reading, there was no confusion at all. Mr. Rigby does an outstanding job keeping the flow of the novel from becoming confusing. This book kept me intrigued with the unique storyline and superb character development. I felt as if I was a part of Priam Wood's family meandering through the plot with him. What seems like a complex storyline is actually a wonderful, sequenced plot.
I am pleased to know that such thought-provoking writing has come from a talented author's debut novel. I am looking forward to reading the next book Rigby writes. I recommend this awe inspiring novel and proudly give it five stars.

In death Priam Wood is offered the chance to relive seven days of his life. Filled with regret at a life of loss and disappointment, Priam relives the days he considered would have changed the direction of his life and the lives of those he loved.
With its constantly changing perspectives this would have been an ambitious undertaking for an experienced writer. The fact that this is Alexander Rigby’s debut novel is all the more remarkable.
Mr Rigby would have been forgiven for peopling such an intricate, ever shifting storyline with characters who are simply there to progress the plot. But in fact some of the characters are as complex and multilayered as the story.
I have a particular fondness for moments of poetry produced by good prose; such as:-
‘The shadows of the trees fall upon the grass and make up monsters that fight with one another as the light shifts and sways them.’
As another reviewer has observed, Mr Rigby has a tendency to overwrite. Some passages could have been tighter, more condensed, allowing the reader to join the dots. This is an author who clearly enjoys his work, however sometimes less really is more.
All in all however this is a worthy debut novel by a very talented author who clearly has a lot of potential, and I look forward to reading his next piece of work.
This novel merits a well deserved 4.5 stars. I fully expect to be giving his next work 5 stars.

If you could relive seven days of your life and change the things you regretted the most, would you?
'The Second Chances of Priam Wood' isn't something I would normally chose to read but after reading the synopsis I decided I had to give it a go. I am glad I did as i found it to be an excellent read. It was well written and had me captivated almost from the beginning.
My emotions were in turmoil throughout! One minute I'm holding my breath waiting to see the outcome the next I was crying in heartbreak only to laugh in disbelief. I couldn't make heads or tails of how I was feeling as it was rapidly changing.
I've never read anything like it. I was so moved by the story, and what a great one it is. Following Priam's life was very interesting, to see the mistakes and the choices he made to alter them. I was so captivated it felt like I wasn't reading the story, I was actually living it along with them.
This novel made me think of what I would do if I were put in his shoes. What seven days would I chose to revisit and amend? It's a lot harder than it first seems! I feel for Priam at having to go through the original days over again but am then glad he has his chance to rectify them.
The ending didn't turn out as I hoped it would; it was even better!
Alexander Rigby has been put on my *Must Read Author list* I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

Priam is an elderly man, dying of pancreatic cancer. When given the opportunity to relive seven days of his again, his choices change the course of his life. I am roughly the same age Priam Wood, the protagonist, is at the end of this book. Thus I can relate to the loss of loved ones and the desire to do things differently, to be a different person. The book provoked me to question which seven of my own days I would redo if I could.
Initially, I thought the book was repetitive, wordy, and slow, but I got sucked into it and read it in a matter of a couple of days. Alexander Rigby does a good job keeping the reader oriented during the original of the seven days as well as the re-do without being overly repetitive. The story is beautifully told. Priam and Ellie have the true love we all aspire to. I found it thought-provoking and poignant. Though Priam’s relationships with his family change as he relives these days, each variation is well thought-out and the characterization convincing. The ending, the very minor characters magically reappearing, though, is a trifle contrived. And the final “explanation” of everything to Priam in the afterlife spoiled what could have been left a mystery.

The Second Chances of Priam Wood by Alexander Rigby tells the story of a wistful man on his deathbed whose afterlife presents the unexpected opportunity to relive seven of his most regretted days.
While time travel is not always an accessible topic, Rigby is able to reach out to all audiences by capturing the fundamental human experience: love and loss. As Priam Wood retreats into several nightmarish days of his life, his ability to alter the future allows us to understand the torture of regret. Through the various episodes of Priam’s life, Second Chances hits hard on the idea of decision-making and its karmic significance.
In his debut novel, Rigby develops complicated plot, characters, and metaphors and does so with an obvious passion for writing. The novel is quite lengthy and therefore not a quick read, but the plot turns and character revelations are compelling and well paced, urging the reader to return. While parts of the lengthy novel could be polished and trimmed, the storyline is very unique and entertaining, and I look forward to reading Rigby’s next work.

I received a free copy of the book in a Goidreads giveaway. I was a little intimidated when I received it, since it is close to 500 pages and I knew it wouldn't be a quick, light-hearted read. However, once I started reading I was quickly hooked. The idea of going back and changing events that we regret is something that everyone can relate to, and it's interesting to see how one small change can affect numerous events throughout the lives of many. I loved the book and would recommend reading it. It's very thought provoking and I can't wait to see what the author writes next.
