Publisher Description
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?

"The story of a soldier who relives his death in battle every single day. To quote Samuel Beckett: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Or to quote an old samurai saying: "Strike down your enemy and learn." Kiri-oboeru!"
— Eric (4 out of 5 stars)
All You Need Is Kill (Unabridged) Listener Reviews

" It's April 2020 and still no complete audiobook of this? 🤔🤔🤔 "
— EarlOfthePhilippines, 4/12/2020 -
" Quick Review: A simply written, fast read that makes you think about how you're living. If you had to repeat one day, would you be happy with how you set yourself up or how will you deal seemingly unchangeable present or apparently unreachable goals? You try anyway. The video game philosophy runs deep here without referencing them at all so as thin as that line of thinking is it's a good reminder that there's always something you can improve no matter how hopeless it seems. "

" Despite being short and a pretty easy read, the story was quite interesting. "
— Nathan, 2/15/2014 -
" Military. Science Fiction. Groundhog Day. "
— Robert, 2/7/2014 -
" Short but fun. Will be interesting to see what changes the movie makes when it comes out, but a fun read until then. "
— Ryan, 1/31/2014 -
" This was a fun read. It was my favorite read this year. It had a back story in the middle of it that seemed to side track the action but, for the most part, I really liked it. "
— Arne, 1/30/2014 -
" There is a review on Amazon that describes this book as Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day. I don't think you could say it any better "
— Chadfredlott, 1/20/2014 -
" Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers "
— John, 1/10/2014 -
" A decent enough idea weakened by a reliance on video game allegory. I basically felt like I was reading a hyper violent alien invasion version of the film Groundhog Day "
— Robert, 10/6/2013 -
" Starship troopers meets Groundhog Day. Being filmed as a movie at the moment and hopefully makes a better movie than book. "
— Jon, 9/8/2013 -
" Like "Groundhogs Day" except the guy is at war. "
— Ben, 6/14/2013 -
" Short, simple, well put together. A little confusing at first, but it comes together nicely. Comparisons to Ground Hogs Day, I think, become unnecessary. "
— Jim, 6/5/2013 -
" Great short book I read it in a day wanted to see what the movie that is based on this book is going to be about. I'll have to say it was highly entertaining and had a great twist in the end. I'll more than like ly see the movie. "
— James, 5/12/2013
