Replay has been a favorite since I first read it years ago. It is a sci-fi and it’s an easy read. It’s a story about “what if” and time travel. I find myself always cheering for the protagonist, Jeff, to do the right thing. For me, it’s about the light at the end of a dark tunnel; you see the light, need to get there and you will, when you figure out how. You find yourself encouraging Jeff not give up, push forward, even if you know what’s coming next. It’s a multiple lifetime journey with endless possibilities and choices.
Ken Grimwood was born in Pensacola, Florida, on February 27, 1944. He attended Emory University and Bard College before starting work as a radio station news director. Of his five novels, the best known is the award-winning Replay (1987), whose innovative plot structure helped it become a best-seller in Japan and influenced the American film Groundhog Day, the television movie 12:01, and the Japanese film Taan. In his fantasy fiction, Grimwood combined themes of life-affirmation and hope with metaphysical concepts, themes found in his best-known novel, Replay. It won the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. Ebsco wiki
