A lowly soldier is killed during a relentless alien invasion, on only his first day of combat; but somehow is forced to relive that day over and over until he gets better (with the help of a solider called "Full Metal Bitch") or keeps dying in Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need is Kill.
This sci-fi novel is a whacked-out combo of Groundhog Day, Starship Troopers, and a dozen Japanese anime series, written in a terse, kinetic style that makes this a quick read. The author is obviously a loving fan of all of the above and then some and doesn't take anything too seriously.
This novel later became the Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow, a much more vanilla version of the original novel.
I found this at a WalMart while waiting for a tire change and read half of it in one swoop. A change of pace for sci-fi fans.
