Narrative In Favor Of Books All You Need Is Kill

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?

Assessment Out Of Books All You Need Is Kill

20.0% "Groundhog day mixed with Starship Troopers. Enjoying it more than I thought I would. I like the Full Metal Bitch. She's not what you think."65.0% "Getting a little restless with Full Metal B*tch's backstory. I'm so ADD."83.0% "They're drinking coffee."It's ok. I was more enamored with the beginning than anything else. It'll be interesting to see how the Tom Cruise movie works out. Not hard sf. Only 200 pages though, which is good for me. I think the illustrations are missing, judging by

All You Need is Kill is a standalone science fiction novel originally published in Japan. Its very short and fast-paced, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. It made a great change of pace from the past several books Ive read.This is a Groundhog Day type of story, only with war instead of romance. (For those whose ignorance of popular movies rivals my own, I mean to say that this is a time loop type story.) Also, unlike Groundhog Day, it actually explains the cause of the time loop and manages to do so

Its 2.5 stars rounded down for its ridiculously rushed and unsatisfying last third. Until then, I was mostly along for the ride, willing to forgive its casual sexism and shallow approach to the anxieties of soldiers who face their own imminent demise, because I hoped that Sakurazaka was playing a long game, that he would peel back the layers and reveal a beating heart underneath all the artifice. But no, that didnt happen. Very disappointing.

So what do you get when you mix Groundhog Day, a war manga, and Tony Stark's suit of armor he made in a cave? You get All You Need Is Kill. Keiji Kiriya is stuck in a loop fighting aliens to the death...well to his death. Keiji has died during each of his 158 tries to get out of the loop. Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day had it way easier than Keiji Kiriya.For me All You Need Is Kill is a book with an interesting concept that falls short once Rita Vrataski gets her own point of view. I

He died in battle . He was reborn in victory.In the film Groundhog Day, Bill Murray repeatedly wakes up and re-lives the same 24hrs over and over again. Each time the cycle repeats, he learns another valuable lesson about his life. All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurakzaka has a similar premise but instead of being set in Punxsutawney it is set on the muddy battlefields of Japan in the midst of a future war.Alien creatures called Mimics have landed and are attempting to invade Earth. Slowly

Perhaps I'm doing a bit of the heavy lifting here, but I thought this was a searing, sardonic look at the atrocity of war and the horror of PTSD. Also there were mech suits, kaiju aliens, and battle glaives!CONTENT WARNING: (no actual spoilers, just a list of topics) (view spoiler)[ graphic violence, war, racism, depiction of mental illness, loss of a loved one. (hide spoiler)]Things to love:-The tone. This translation was excellent. It read seamlessly, and got a lot of humor and sarcasm in

Aliens combat an Earth force made up of Japanese, American and other nations in All You Need is Kill. The Japanese soldier is caught in a Groundhog Day nightmare of kill, be killed, sleep, and repeat. He doesn't know what is happening to him until he meets an American soldier who is also caught in a time loop.Together they can defeat the aliens, but they have to solve the puzzle in time. A quick read with an interesting premise.
