...this is really rather good:
http://upcoming4.me/news/book-news/review-the-first-fifteen-lives-of-harry-august-by-claire-north
It was on Radio 2's Book Club the other morning, I'm reading a download of it, and thoroughly enjoying it.
It raises the oft-asked question, if I could go back in time, with all memories intact, could I, would I, [i]should[/i] I, change anything?
I'm on chapter 27, so not half-way through, so lots left to read.
It's not really SF, or fantasy, rather a sort of fiction that defies classification, a bit like William Gibson's [i]Bigend[/i] trilogy.

Sounds quite similar to 11.22.63 by Stephen King about the Kennedy assassination, I'll check it out when it appears on paperback - cheers.

+1, started it yesterday and totally hooked now. Will need to pace it so it's not finished by tomorrow.

Bigend

There's a trilogy called Big End??

Sorry, back on track.

Is it similar to Replay (70s not quite sci-fi about broadly similar things)?
