I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did!!!

We follow our main character into the multiverse and see different parallel lives based off all these small decisions - which was so interesting & had me thinking about my life

The second half was my favorite, the suspense was SO good & I was as emotionally invested as he was. A great read, and if sci-fi/suspense isn’t your typical genre I’d totally recommend trying this one!

I really like the concept and the hectic trippy-ness that unfurls in the second half of the book, which makes the tail wind of the story a fast and fun ride. The main thing hanging me up is Crouch's cheesy writing. The characters are trite and formulaic, and the protagonist's inner monologue constantly emphasizes the life lesson that Crouch wants you to walk away with. He doesn't leave much room for interpretation or nuance because he keeps slapping you in the face about how life is precious and...

This moment slips past unnoticed.The end of everything I know, everything I love. If there ever was a science fiction story that could appeal to everyone, this is it.Jason Dessen was living the normal happy life with his wife and son when one night, a stranger abducts him and knocks him out. When he comes to, everything has changed. How will he survive and get back to the life and the people he loves?Ok, that's a pretty measly teaser, but it's all I can say without giving anything away.This b...

What, with all due respect, the absolute fuck was this book?What just happened? What did I just read? How does one even begin to process the sheer mind-fuckery that is this book? What now? Am I supposed to just go to school, go to work, respond to emails, function as a normal member of society as though this book hasn't just completely rearranged the insides of my brain, fucked with my heart, and threw me into an existential crisis? What?Anyways. That said, this book is great. It does horrible, ...

If you liked the film Interstellar, you might like this. I did not like Interstellar.I found the plot to be intriguing, but not particularly original. It felt like a rehashing of many stories. The themes were pretty much exactly what you'd expect to find in a book about multiple universes: life, love, decisions, fate, acceptance, etc. And the dialogue was mediocre at best. There were some lines that had me laughing out loud...and they weren't supposed to be funny. "It felt like it was the first ...

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 t...

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 i...

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, rig...

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 cra...
