About this listen

First time on audio! The original novel that inspired the sci-fi blockbuster film starring Tom Cruise!

When the alien Mimics invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor called a Jacket and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to be reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On his 158th iteration, he gets a message from a mysterious ally - the female soldier known as the Full Metal Bitch. Is she the key to Keiji's escape or his final death?

better love story than twilight

Just like Starship Troopers, the book All You Need is Kill is worlds different than its movie adaption. Both the Movies and books have phenomenal storys that are so different they can stand up on their own.

This story is one of my favorites, easily in my top 10 reading list. the emotions I felt reading it were incredibly intesne, the story short and to the point, the MC completely relatable and yes the whole story revolves around themes of love, hope, hatred and lost. A real emotional rollercoaster of a story. love it! bigly!

Different the movie

Generally good story & performance. Japanese names & words badly pronounced - lazy reader & director. It's not hard to get close.

Similar to movie yet different

Listened to this as part of a book club where we watch the movie and compare it to the book. Was pretty excited because while I really can't stand Tom Cruise at this point (the stories about how he treats women, let alone the whole scientology thing has turned me off him pretty much completely) I have to admit that I love this movie. I have watched it numerous times, like over and over... just love it. This story is different in that it is happening in Japan rather than France and the ending is completely different than the movie's ending. Rather than being a demoted talking head in this version he's just a grunt... there's no transfusion element this time, and who the invaders are is explained, which the movie doesn't really bother to do. That all said, I didn't like the ending on this one...

A MUST Read

Even if you've seen the film (Edge of Tomorrow: Live Die Repeat), I HIGHLY recommend listening/reading All You Need Is Kill. I absolutely loved the storyline, even if it's somewhat different from the film. I loved learning more about Rita's background and mindset.

Perfect SciFi Short Story

The short story was recommended to me under the topic of time travel stories with a twist.

This was an excellent science-fiction story superbly written and performed with an excellent tone and style Mike Martindale. I'm now reading these two part Manga and imagining his voice and aeration the entire way through.

great story

the story was AWESOME but it is a classic sci-fi so don't expect the movie ending.

idk why they say this is a movie tie-in, it's the original story.

the performance was excellent but it took me a while to get into Mike's cadence. once I figured out his cadence and that of the story teller's, it was a breeze to go through.

if you liked the movie that was based upon this book AND you like sci-fi, this is a good book to listen to.

Just not good.

The premise is great. Everything else is terrible, except narration. I was excited by the differences from the movie that are made obvious within 30 seconds of starting. The story however just doesn't flow very well and seems extremely rushed and ended in the most unsatisfactory way possible. With more plot issues and questions with no answer. I don't usually leave reviews like this. In fact, this is my first. I just could not get into this story for more than 20 minutes.

Great Origin Book From Japan

I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised & happy to find out what the Hollywood movie came from. Outstanding!!

Took two reads to really grasp this

If you could sum up Edge of Tomorrow (Movie Tie-in Edition) in three words, what would they be?

Unique, Ambiguous, Clever

What other book might you compare Edge of Tomorrow (Movie Tie-in Edition) to and why?

What's great about Edge of Tomorrow is that it's fairly unique to the genre. While alien invaders have been done many times, the melding of the Groundhog Day scenario is clever. I'm not sure there is a clean comparison here.

Have you listened to any of Mike Martindale’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am not sure. The reading is quite good though and I've no complaints about the narrator.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The filmmakers did a good job on that one. No need for me to rehash here.

Any additional comments?

This is an excellent book. The story moves at a great pace for the topic and it tackles the time travel exposition in a clever manner. The ending is a bit confusing, but that adds a lot to the book.

Loved the movie, not so sure about the book

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure where the folks that put the movie got their story from, but it was not from this book. I got the book to maybe help clarify some of the mysteries left after watching the movie. The book was fine, but did nothing to help understand the movie...
