Product Description
Jeff Winston, forty-three, didn't know he was a replayer until he died and woke up twenty-five years younger in his college dorm room; he lived another life. And died again. And lived again and died again -- in a continuous twenty-five-year cycle -- each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, remedy past mistakes, or make a fortune in the stock market. A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?"

 Ken Grimwood... Thank You... September 26, 2008
Thank you Ken for sharing this book with us...
I bought this book based on the reviews written here and once I started it I couldnt stop reading it... Its very well written and very thought provoking...
If you have time please read the book... It will make you stop and wonder about life and how you are living it...
 Not as good as the hype September 11, 2008
I did it again. I fell for the pro reviews. It was an o.k. read but not great.
 Provocative and thought-producing, worth a re-read September 8, 2008
This book is more than just a time-travel/sci fi book. For me, it was more in the line of a philosophical book asking me to think about about how I would live my life if I had a chance to do it again, and again, and again. It is also a book that asks one to think about what the author's real message is - as a human species, are we gaining in wisdom, or staying the same? As we age, do we gain in wisdom, or is wisdom something that is not experience or age-related, but more a reflection of the kind of person we are? If you tap deeply into yourself, are you a scholar, a scientist, a spiritualist, a hedonist, an action hero, an acquisitor or a distributor, a humanist? Would your tee-shirt say So Many Books, So Little Time, or something else?
I like books that make me think, and although I was a bit put off by Jeff Winston's early choices about how he would live a life again, by the end, the choices he selected made more sense as a whole. I grew to care about him as a character.

The premise of the book is what we all wonder about as we are going to sleep. What would you change if you could live your life over? Replay provides you the wisdom of deciphering how to live this life with proper persepctive. This read could be a text book for a class in Phsych. Someone needs to make this into a movie...
If only I knew then what I know now... September 1, 2008
This is probably the most interesting book I've ever read. I could not put it down. I consider it more of the mystery/thriller genre.
