Book Review By Debra Kelley
Replay by Ken Grimwood

Jeff Winston, 43, has just died of a heart attack. However, instead of 'resting in peace' he becomes a 'replayer', that is, someone who repeats his life over and over again. While Jeff replays his life, he makes different changes in it along the way, and discovers how his life before he died plays a part in the life that he keeps reliving.
