But then he awoke, and it was 1963; Jeff was eighteen all over again, his memory of the next two decades intact. This time around, Jeff would gain all the power and wealth he never had before. This time around he'd know how to do it right. Until next time. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Haven't I met you somewhere before?Jeff Winston, a 43 year old radio journalist of (at best) modest accomplishments going through the motions of a lack-luster marriage, dies of cardiac arrest in 1988. To his shock, he opens his eyes and returns to consciousness in 1963 in the very healthy young male body of his former 25 year old self. Without ever knowing the reason it has happened, he comes to grips with his situation and realizes that all of his adult experience, his adult wisdom and his awareness of events to come remain intact. ... Read More Rating:  - The Finest Speculation. REPLAY Has it All.Replay, by Ken Grimwood, is a miraculous journey through time and the human spirit. Grimwood wonderfully exposes the possible outcomes of having advanced knowledge while leading life. What happens when you live the same thirty years over, and over, and over? What makes a life worthwhile? Is it a lifetime of money, fame, or positive interactions with others? What does anything matter if at the end of the "replay" everything just gets erased, except in your memory? Replay is at times an emotional ... Read More Rating: - Fun!Ok - I have not read any other modern time travel novels so I can't compare as some other readers here have done. However, for me, this has been one of those books I've just picked up at every opportunity to see what happens next. While technically this is science fiction, it's not a "fantastic" type of science fiction. I think the device that kept me picking it up was that the protagonist's actions were pretty believable and generally made sense. What enrichened this ... Read More Rating: - Read it, you will not be sorry.In my humble opinion, if Ken Grimwood or the publisher would have changed the title to something more prolific then this book would have been considered a great American novel. It is the classic story of what would you do if you had to live your life over again, and again, and again, etc. This novel was published in 1987 and was an obvious influence on Harold Ramis' comedy-drama Groundhog Day (1993) with one important difference, the main character relives entire chuncks of his life (around 25 years) before ... Read More Rating: - The many journeys of one man's lifeI first encountered this book years ago while browsing the dusty shelves of a local bookstore. Though I left it behind after reading it, like any good book it stayed with me long afterward, and when I found a copy recently at a used book sale I decided to buy it. Reading it again after all this time reminded me of just how engrossing of a work it is. At its most basic level the book examines a question many people ask themselves: if I could go do it again, how would I do it differently? Through the mechanism ... Read More
