Especially the bit where it goes “let's go inside and load our lovely new guns and then it'll be -bang bang bang- and Bird Pie for supper.”
This one is really violent, especially if you are fond of animals, but I enjoyed it.
Broke my heart just as much as when first read ths as a kid.
Haven't really liked the other time travel/loop plots (Last Continent, Thief Of Time) but this one knocked it out of the park. There were no “just because” plot points, it was coherent and I was fully invested.
Tension feels like its reaching a crescendo fairly early on on the book and it really has you on edge for the whole ride. I felt as tired as the protags by the end of it.
Highlights for me was Comrade Shoe trying to spread communism, and his death scene.
