REVIEWS : I suppose we’re both just trying to come to terms with how horrifying infinity really is. This book made me feel tiny. It was overwhelming and scary, but oh so very gripping too. Dark Matter is the kind of compelling "I must know WTF is going on" book that makes you forget about everything else you had to do that day. You step into this world - this absolute mind fuck of a world that will tug at both your heart strings and your brain cells - and you don't want to come out until you know how it LOVED IT!!! This book is insanity in a box! 5 stars! Believe the hype! Do not read many reviews! If you like sci fi or want something different and can suspend disbelief read or listen to this book!This is the audio version review! The audio narrated by actor, Jon Lindstrom, is as good as it gets! He was the perfect narrator for "Dark Matter". This man was born to narrate books! He's that good!"Dark Matter" starts out pretty simple and then very quickly it turns insane and just keeps getting 4.5This book f*cked me up. I loved the premise of this story.Are we really happy? What if we made different decisions in life? What if we could live out choices we never made but wished we did?What if we went left instead of right?Straight.Backward.Diagon Alley.Harry Potter.The premise was very interesting. The stuff about the box and the multiverse and even the science at times was interesting.Why couldn't you pull that off, Andy Weir?The plot is so fast-paced and relentless. Even if you aren't fully invested, you want Best way to sum this up - one of the most unique and original stories I have read in a long time. 75% of this book I cannot give you a similar example of from another story.I can see why others have said it is tough to review without spoiling. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BEFORE IT GETS SPOILED FOR YOU!It is the perfect balance of suspense, action, sci-fi, romance, and WHAT THE HECK!?!? I was enthralled the entire time and did not want to put it down (but we all have to sleep and work sometime, It's terrifying when you consider that every thought we have, every choice we could possibly make, creates a new world. Dark Matter, to be blunt, is miles and miles away from the line that marks my ‘‘comfort zone.’’ I never, or very, very seldom, read books such as this one.But the truth is, I never read a book like Dark Matter before.It’s a love story, it’s a thriller, it’s a science fiction book.It’s thought-provoking, gripping, action-filled.It makes you think about life and family and what *****NO SPOILERS, I SWEAR.*****”What if all the pieces of belief and memory that comprise who I am--my profession, Daniela, my son--are nothing but a tragic misfiring in that gray matter between my ears? Will I keep fighting to be the man I think I am? Or will I disown him and everything he loves, and step into the skin of the person this world would like for me to be?And if I have lost my mind, what then?What if everything I know is wrong?No. Stop.I am not losing my mind.”There is nothing more What, with all due respect, the absolute fuck was this book.How do you even start getting over this? How does that happen to someone? I feel very....mmmmm what's the word....confused? lost? so thoroughly mind-fucked? I swear to god my soul has aged for an entire century since I started this book. I wish I could just hollow out a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven and lay in it for a week. Or maybe just sit on top of a mountain, drink some oolong and not think for a month or two. I don't know. Dr. Mr. Crouch,I was first introduced to your work via my Aunt Janet “The Librarian” years ago; she started me off with your Andrew Z. Thomas/Luther Kite series and I knew I’d found a new favorite author. I branched out on my own and decided to try the Wayward Pines series; somehow I ended up liking that even more than the previous. I was on a roll! Months ago, when I first saw your new book listed on NetGalley, it was vague and sneaky, both things I like in a book, but I decided to wait on This reread on Audio was good! I enjoyed the narrator! I just read the craziest book and it was so good. I was going along wanting to find out what in the world has happened to Jason! Why has he lost his identity. Who are these people after him! I mean one minute, you have a wife and kid and then you don't. Your in another world .. ish. AND. THEN. IT. WAS. DOWN. THE. RABBIT. HOLE. Just trying to enjoy this book and they lured me right on down that hole! So now. What am I going to say in this Wow. Mind-blown. Amazed. Completely enamored.This book shook me up, made me think and held my heart captive. I’m beyond impressed with Blake Crouch’s writing. The philosophical nature of this story and his ability to paint such a vivid world with his words really got to me. It shook me to my core. “Are you happy in your life?” I’m the first to admit, science-fiction isn’t my thing. Not my go-to genre or even one I read with any type of consistency. In fact, it was seeing sci-fi in the blurb congratulations! semifinalist in goodreads' best science fiction category 2016!what is this book….???i suppose it's best described as a sci fi/speculative fiction love story with philosophy sauce all over it.it's also another one of those reviewing-on-eggshells books, because of all the spoilers that could possibly be spoilt, where we're going to have to dance our way around a bunch of important nouns and verbs.so, this little puzzle book of genre-blending mastery... i know i wrote "love story" What on Earth can I say about this book? I don’t even know how to describe it. I’m just going to say it was totally AWESOME!!! It's an incredibly unique page-turner and I couldn't put it down.This was my first read byBlake CrouchandDark Matterwas literally an action packed roller coaster ride! I was thoroughly engaged and engrossed by the story. I went into this book totally blind and had no idea of the plot. Also, there were surprises along the way-- the book is unpredictable--and I remained on I’m late to the party on this one, and judging by all the 4 and 5 star reviews I can only assume that the mob will be after me with pitchforks and torches for 3 starring it. Come at me, Goodreads!Jason Dessen is just an average guy with a wife and son he loves, and a job teaching physics at a small college. One night he goes out to meet a friend for drinks, but he ends up being kidnapped by a mysterious man who somehow rips him out of his life and drops him in the middle of a nightmare.This is.
