Review: All You Need Is Kill

All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was good but my thing is this, the movie is better. This but was adapted into the Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow. I think that movie is better then the book it was adapted from. This reads like an idea for an anime which is not bad but it feels like it could be better to see in a visual medium. The characters are very two dimensional which speaks to the anime. The twists to the story aren't good. When you think about what happens near the end you realize that what happens to both the lead characters can happen to anyone. All of which can lead to the same outcome. That takes away from the story for me. Thus why I prefer the movie. It's self contained and gives you a satisfying ending while the book does not.
