Summary: Life Changing Book
Review: This amazing book will change your life. I first read this in the early 90's and have read it every few years since. It made me question how I live my life. Would I do radically different things if I replayed? I have given copies of this book to all different types of people and they all say the same thing..."life changing." A terrific book.

Summary: One of the Few Books I ever Read Twice
Review: I first bought & read a hardcover copy of this book back in the early 90's. Within the year I read it a second time just to see if my very real initial enjoyment of it was just a fluke, decided it wasn't, loaned it to a friend, and never saw it again. Two years ago when I loaned & later gave my copy of "Jumper" by Steven Gould to my teenage stepson, he enjoyed it so much he asked me to recommend any other books I could think of that were even slightly similar in theme. Replay immediately came to mind but I wasn't sure it was still available & didn't take the time to find out. Needless to say, I've just rediscovered it & plan to order two copies shortly. If you're looking for lots of technical complexity in a novel you should move on; if you want a hard to put down, easy to read, thought provoking parable of how we all can take the simplest things in life for granted, it's a great book. I'm looking forward to reading it a third time and getting an extra twist this time by hearing my stepson's comments.

Summary: The most entertaining and thought provoking novel I've read!
Review: I read this book years ago and have, over the years, searched used book stores for the original. I buy it and pass it on to everyone I know. Why this has not been made into a movie by now is beyond me! In short, this book provides a foundation for years of fantasizing about how you would "replay" your life!

Summary: My Best reading ever
Review: Well, plain and simple. I am reading a lot. This book ( I read it in Hebrew) was the only book I ever remember all my family was reading with out any break, loosing at least one night. It is a pity I could not rank it with 10 stars. I read it 4 years ago, and I still think about it. Just can't take it out of my head. If you hate reading books, this one will convert you !

Summary: I've read over 5,000 books in my life, and this ranks top 3
Review: I read this book over 8 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. A friend of mine came over to borrow a book from my library and the conversation came up of what is one of my favorite books of all time. As you can guess, this book came up on my top 3 list. I got on line and bought the book so that my friend could read it, and I can add it to my library.

Summary: Definitely the best book I ever read!
Review: It's funny, when I read reviews of books many reviewers write "Best book I ever read". "A must for all science fiction lovers". For books which are sometimes good, and sometimes not so good - but almost almost never worth such praise. But this one does! It is one of the books you read, and you actually 'see' the story. I just wish there were more books (and sequels for this one) out there of Ken Grimwood...

Summary: Isn't The Effect Of This Book On Your Personal View, EERIE!?
Review: I first read "Replay" when it was new, back in the 1980s. I remember picking it up on a whim at a now-defunct bookstore in the middle of London, and taking it home with me. I'd just suffered a breakup with a girlfriend, and was entrenched for yet another lonely and dull Saturday night in.I thought. Well, I kept reading, and reading, and reading. And just couldn't put the damned thing down. It was early the next morning, and I'd finished the thing in one sitting, and...it was WEIRD. It was almost a chemical reaction, like something had gone "clonk" in my brain. I know precisely what people here mean when they liken it to a religious experience (and I'm not even remotely religious.) I've lent this book to SO many people over the years; purchased copied for others. It's almost a litmus test...you can tell a lot about a person by their reaction to it. I met someone at a party once, and the title came up in casual conversation. The reaction was like "lighting the blue touch paper"...the room IGNITED. This book is so loved, it's almost eerie. A friend of mine, a fellow screenwriter, casually dropped it into a conversation with me, and we ALSO went nuts over this. The feeling is evangelical...you just WANT this book to be read by others! (A friend of mine in Scotland just got a copy through Amazon as a referral from me...hi, Lee!) As a coda, I'd like to add that this book *IS* currently in the early stages of development as a movie at Warner Brothers, but from what I've heard about the script drafts to date, the producers seem to have cut a lot of the guts and heart from the story. I feel myself, and other "Replay" fans, could be very disappointed with the results. This is *my* favourite book ever, period. (And I'm so picky, I can't even compile a list of my top 100 movies!) Buy it now!!!!
