Replay

I had high expectations of Replay, and after I made it through Jeff's first replay of his life, the rest of the story exceeded them. It is a story about the risks people take or avoid in their lives and what they could accomplish with the assurance of second chances. It's also a story about coping with circumstances outside of one's control, and of facing the reality that one's accomplishments will be swept away as if they had never existed. Jeff starts out chasing juvenile dreams of money and sex, but with his many lives, he has an opportunity to see what kind of a person he is capable of becoming. Several plot twists make the story delightfully more complicated, and I felt that things came together into a surprisingly hopeful and clear-sighted conclusion. Though it is set in a time that is growing increasingly distant from modern day, I think this is a story that can pass the test of time.
