I really enjoyed it, though I am excited to watch the movie cause I feel like the story could have been fleshed out so much more! There were certain things in the book that felt pretty important but they would get a single sentence to explain them, but then other things the author took more time to flesh out. Like we learned a lot about Rita's childhood, but then they barely explained what happened with the time loops

1) I liked it a lot! Gave it a 4/5. I liked that it was short and I was able to read essentially the whole thing on my flight from MA back to CA!
2) I loved the concept in both the movie and in the novel. It was really interesting to me to see how Keiji adjusted what he did in order to try to find a different outcome. Also interesting was that the mimics began to adjust themselves, to try to find Keiji and they were trying to murder him because they knew he had the power to kill them.
3) I haven't read the manga (definitely on my to do list now though) but I did see Edge of Tomorrow.
[Edge of Tomorrow spoilers]I liked the design for the aliens in the movie a LOT, I thought they looked super cool and alien and awesome. I kept accidentally imagining them instead of the weird mutated frog mimics in the book.
I actually liked the ending of the movie because I like happy endings. But I felt that the end of the book was probably more realistic. I mean, as much as things can be realistic in a sci fi alien book.I'll have to finish this comment later I have too much

1) I gave it a 4 out of 5, I think. It was short and to the point, but the world-building was still pretty solid, and the action came at a rapid clip. I think he maybe sacrificed some characterization but overall I really enjoyed it
