There’s one thing worse than dying. It’s coming back to do it again and again…

When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the Bitch of War. Is the Bitch the key to Keiji’s escape, or to his final death?

Review of 'All You Need Is Kill' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Shorter than I'd expected, though I blame myself for that, as I made the classic blunder of watching the film before reading the movie (in my defense, I'd heard of the book before the film was announced, but even as I type that it feels like the most hipster-y thing I could've said, and I'm immediately sorry I wrote it).

Not too bad. A bit poetic in places, and not quite as predictable as I would've expected had it been an American novel.
