  1. Dec 18, 2004 · Edge of Tomorrow is a pretty classic Tom Cruise flick - lots of action and violence but removed from the general public. All You Need Is Kill shows the grimness of the Mimic War being fought. The war has been going on for 20-30 years, a lot of the planet has been consumed/destroyed by the Mimics (who eat our soil, destroying it) and it has the ...

    The setup of All You Need is Killis as follows: New recruit Keiji Kiriya has joined the exoskeleton-wearing Japanese military to fight the mimics, a frog/starfish-like alien army that has been invading the Earth for decades. However, in his first battle he is killed—only to wake up 30 hours before his own death. Like the film Groundhog Day, All You...

    The other main aspect of the story is the psychological pressure of being trapped in the time loop. Over the course of the novel, Keiji dies in many horrible ways as do those around him—sometimes it's even his fault when they do. Moreover, while he has a goal, there is no guarantee that surviving the battle will be enough to break the loop. And onc...

    But the emotional core of the story doesn't really center around Keiji, but rather humanity's greatest soldier, Rita Vrataski, the “Full Metal Bitch.” On the battlefield, she is unstoppable. She has never been injured and her small unit is responsible for the vast majority of humanity's recent victories against the mimics. She is the unreachable go...

    While Rita's backstory organically develops the setting, there is a section of the book that does not: the origin of the mimics. As it is information that no human could possibly know, the novel grinds to a halt mid-story to give us a history lesson where the author directly addresses the reader. While interesting, learning about how the mimics cam...

    [Skip to the "Final Thoughts" section to avoid spoilers.] It is in the final battle that the story falls apart because of its contrived climax and subsequent resolution. Basically, it feels like the author wanted Keiji and Rita to fight in a tragic battle to the death and thus forced the plot to make this happen—despite the fact that it doesn't mak...

    All You Need is Killis a great time loop story and puts a lot of thought into what it would be like to live in that situation for a prolonged period of time. Moreover, it has some great mysteries and an interesting cast of characters—especially Rita. And while the climax and ending fall apart completely if you think about them at all, it is still a...
