Quick-take: This may be my new favorite novel.
Calling this book "a 25-year Groundhog Day" simply does not do it justice.
This book was simply amazing in the design and execution of the story. Yes, he is constantly reliving the past 25-years of his life, but what does that actually mean?
What was remarkable was how 100% believable the story was. What would I do if it was me? The book explores everything point-by-point, and instead of the Groundhog Day restart, 25 years is actually enough time to see what happens. That was what I liked: What actually happens when I changed the history.
There was a ton of history and pop-culture references that I missed because I was not around during that time. This book badly needs a refreshed time loop to current day's trivia.
Despite that, I am still giving this a 5.
