All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, but I can understand why some people didn't. There was an overriding sense of a bleak future for the main characters, concerning them being trapped in a time loop, that didn't allow you to have a sense of victory concerning the the battles that were won in the book.

What I am trying to convey, is usually in a military based book, you end up cheering or routing for the characters as they over come insurmountable odds, the victories in the book didn't allow for this.

The book with out giving anything away, didn't end on a completely positive note for me. This is not usually necessary, but I felt that the tone of the book could have done with a uplift of emotion at the end to balance the rest of it out.

This does not stop me giving it a solid five out of five.
