_Replay_

I quite enjoyed the book. I thought the dude was a tad unwise the second time aound, I could have relived his life better! I liked the building empotional impact through the book -- at first it is wish fufilment, then it is make-a-difference, and finally the fear of final-death. (Much like many people's real lives, I should think.)

I was very puzzled by the note from Austrailia in the find-other-replayers life. What was his/her point? Why was this never followed up?

I was also unfufilled by the How? never being answered. I mean perhaphs it is just some random thing, but that is not satisfying.
(Felt similarly about GroundHog Day, which I also liked in spite of the lack of reason.)

Summary? Good characters you can relate to and care about. Interesting situation, so-so resolution. Overall 7/10.
