Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Pile away kenny!
The more feedback the merrier for me. I welcome people taking the time, so thanks!
A couple of people questioned how original the Dead Loop is which I personally find strange. So far the only books mentioned where the main character dies regularly is the brief period in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray kills himself a few times and Captain Scarlet in his battles with the Mysterons.

The Dead Loop is nothing to do with either of these scenarios!

I of course respect the opinion of anyone who thinks my concept is not original, but then I must ask two questions:

1.
If its all been done before, then without reading the book, can anyone speculate as to why Ewan Charles dies every single day in the Dead Loop?

2.
Can anyone name a single book published in 2012 for which we also collectively are unable to say just as easily: "Been there, done that, got the t-shirt?"
