Reddit reviews All You Need Is Kill

I was late last time on this thread, never again.

If you saw the movie Edge of Tomorrow, please read the manga, All You Need is Kill, to do the story justice. Manga will take you less than 4 hours to read.

To those of you who read it, thoughts? I just finished my second read a couple weeks ago.

I just finished All you need is kill. For a quick read it contains a fascinating story. SciFi novel about a conflict taking place all over the Earth. Futuristic "Jackets", Aliens, Amazing plot device. All around great novel. It was the source material for Edge of Tomorrow and it goes without saying, but I will say it, the movie deviates a lot from the book and the book is so much better. Its about 250 pages long, so it would go well with another short book. I finished it in about 8 hours.

Based off of the book titled "All You Need Is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka

For light reads, there are All You Need Is Kill with its take on alien monster invasions and groundhog day-like time loop, and Kino no Tabi which has chapters that explore some interesting sci-fi themes.

There are also Legend of the Galactic Heroes and the original Gundam's novel adaptation, but I wouldn't say that they're fit for light reads.

All You Need Is Kill is nice.

Ame no Hi no Iris has robots, so that's probably sci-fi. Really good, anyway.

I grabbed it from ibooks, but there is a kindle version and you can get a hard copy from amazon :

There is also a manga in the works.

It was originally a manga that got a novel version. It called “All you need is Kill” here it is on Amazon.

Yes Emily Blunt is awesome in the film. Not normally a Tom Cruise fan but seeing his transformation as it goes along is fantastic.

• The Thirteenth Floor
  
• Moon touched on another theme we've argued over in this thread, about identity and the "real" you.
  
• Inception - I'd give good money to know if that top ever fell.
  
• Source Code was far better than it had a right to be.
  
• Edge of Tomorrow - great as a standalone SF/action movie, but also deep (and related to this thread) once you look into it. Based on the novel All You Need is Kill.
  
• Solaris touches on the idea of whether, given what you most deeply wanted in a fantasy, would you have the strength to choose reality without that thing instead. It also touches on the cloning problem, and which version gets to call itself the "real" version. I haven't seen the Tarkovsky version yet, but I hear nothing but good things about it. The book by the same name is also fantastic.
  
• Primer - not directly related to the themes in our thread, but still a fantastically deep movie, philosophically, and very rewarding on repeated viewings.

I'll suggest picking up All You Need is Kill. It's a standalone, but meets your other criteria. Very exciting read, with an engaging premise.

The Vampire Hunter D series might also be up your alley.

A book: All You Need Is Kill - roughly 9k doge

Different book, but on a similar vein if you're interested: All You Need Is Kill

The novel: All You Need Is Kill
Pretty decent quick read. Not super thought provoking or complex but there's some good action. It's kinda like Groundhog Day / Run Lola Run but with an alien invasion. They're apparently adapting it as a movie staring Tom Cruise. I don't have high hopes for the movie, but the book is worth reading.

I hadn't read a book in the last 5+ years. Last week I picked up All You Need Is Kill because I liked the Edge of Tomorrow movie and loved it. It was a fast read at ~200 pages but it was great all the way through.

Now I picked up The Martian because I've heard a lot of good things about it. I think I actually might get back into reading now.

If you want pictures read the manga but I suggest getting the actual book. Both are good I just prefer the latter. Oh and like 1r1d3sc3nt said...it isn't an exactly happy ending so if you are truly in a fragile state I would level out before reading it.

After checking out the manga, i would suggest checking out the novel it's based on.

The light novel? It got translated officially, you should be able to buy it on Amazon in English at this link https://www.amazon.com/dp/1421527618/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_1fUByb51R2SEK
However, if you search hard enough, you can find a free pdf version online.
