Yah, it’s not my favorite literary book, but as a cleanly crafted love story, I can think of few better. Would work perfectly as a movie, though time shifting it so it begins in the present day instead of the late ’80s is pretty tough.

There are fewer big, cultural touchstones and sea changes then in the ’60s and ’70s, other than the Internet which is huge.

Favorite book ever? Really? Interesting…I mean, I really liked it and lent it out to a friend…but I just felt some parts were forced.

But the overall plot, what happens (the Dolphin movie for instance led to the love story part you talk about) at the end…yeah, it was pretty good.

Wow. Glad to see some love going to my favorite book, ever. For me, it's less a skiffy book than a great love story, but it was good enough for the '88 World Fantasy Award. I've lost quite a few copies of this over the last twenty years loaning it out and never getting it back. R.A. Porter's last blog post..Pornstars and Pigskins

@ Donald…I agree, that part was a bit crazy and I wasn’t sure what was going to happen there.

@ Jason…Time Traveler’s Wife is also interesting so far, hard to piece it together at first because of him being all over the place, seeing himself, etc.

This book sounds pretty good. I haven’t heard of it.

You already know how I feel about The Time Traveler’s Wife…

I will have to pick up Time Traveler's Wife as well. Some of my favorite parts in Replay was the Oswald stuff and the guy that was just really evil, doing wicked stuff and led them down a different path for awhile (trying to say that without spoilering it).
