Bardzo lubię film z Tomem Cruisem i Emily Blunt (
Very fast read, but outstanding! Different than American sci fi novels. A must read.

Groundhog Day meets war and scifi. What sounds like a real awesome story left me bored.
Although the story is fresh, and the small scifi elements really catched my interest, something about the execution bored me.
Somewhere after the middle I just didn't care anymore, and only pushed through to the end because it isn't very big.

A very quick read.
But…a huge surprise for me, I preferred the movie (well minus the too happy ending).
The movie's plot made more sense, and is very different, than the book's and I felt the movie explained what was happening more thoroughly. And of course who can say "no" to Tom Cruise's smile.

I really wanted to like this book more! It’s got a great premise but there’s some gross masculinity that is unnecessary.
After the enjoyable "Edge of Tomorrow" movie thought I would read the source material.
Surprisingly short, easy to read and very entertaining. Sci Fi lite but a good read.

This was a brilliant book. The fights were so vividly real but they were also unique - with each one different from the previous one (reading pages and pages of battle scenes can get monotonous- there's only so many ways someone can fire a gun).
Despite Keiji living the same day over and over we see different aspects and Keiji changes enough that it didn't get repetitive. I did find it a bit confusing in places- it seems to skip around the timeline quite a lot.
I liked how all the characters were fleshed out. But while the females were well written and complete characters it was sexist in places- Keiji guesses the age of the female characters we meet (but doesn't guess for the men- why is a woman's age relevant and a man's not?). Women seem to get stereotyped a lot in the book "Of the three types of women the human race boasted- the pretty, the homely and the gorillas you couldn't do anything with save ship 'em off to the army" "Most women who suited up looked like some sort of cross between a gorilla and an uglier gorilla. They were the only ones who could cut it on the front lines in the armoured infantry" Most the male soldiers are fairly derogatory and seem to view women as objects that provide sex- that attitude might be prevalent in the military but I'm suspending my disbelief about time loops and aliens so I'd have happily suspended it there too.
