REPLAY by Ken Grimwood

Narrated by William Dufris

I Had It But Its All Gone Now Blues

In the same vein as Groundhog Day but with a dab of Butterfly Effect thrown in for effect, this is a very engaging audiobook.  Giving the characters a lifetime to relive, instead of just one day, makes the cycles seem ever so much more vicious. You may call this fantasy, call it time-travel, but when done, you will certainly call it entertaining. I am a sucker for these kind of stories. If you liked the above movies you will almost certainly like this book. And you may also enjoy the excellent, if short-lived, TV series Day Break, and Journeyman. All these have two common elements: They force the characters to examine the way they live their lives. And they offer no explanation for the mysterious phenomenon that afflicts them.  

William performs the narration on this audiobook. This effort proves him to be in the top rank of narrators. In the past I have enjoyed greatly his adaptations of Woken Furies by Richard K. Morgan and Cryptonomicon by Neal Stevenson. I appreciate his infusion of emotional inflection in his character voicings.
