Review of 'Replay' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
It's workable, but uninspired. Part of the problem is how undistinguished the two main characters are -- after living the same lives over and over, they should be incredibly savvy and experienced individuals. They should know themselves inside and out. But they don't. In many ways, they know even less each time around.
If the writer had taken the premise further, this could have been an amazing book. But he doesn't even take it as far as Groundhog Day does.

Normally I like Egan. He stretches the brain.
Not in this case, sadly. Working through engineering problems and deriving physics is interesting about 10 pages, but it's clear that the gravity and orbital mechanics were more interesting to Egan than the actual plot. Once you take it out, there's not much left to the story.
UPDATE: I literally forgot that I read this book. It took 30 pages in to remember that I'd read it before.
