Dark Matter | 
pickThis was my second time reading Dark Matter. It is fast paced from beginning to end. This novel is also where my fascination with the multiverse theories began. It encourages thought about the complexities of identity; What makes you, you? How would even the smallest choice set your life on an entirely different trajectory? What are you capable of, for better or worse, under the "right" circumstances?
I will probably read it again, again.
pickSome thought provoking moments. This type of subject has been tackled before but not a bad job. More of a love story. I wouldn‘t call it mind bending though as per the quote from Justin Cronin. His own book The ferryman also a subject done before but that one is the best I‘ve read and is indeed mind bending. I would recommend that one highly. This is not bad though. I‘ll also read the sequel of Dark Matter called Recursion.
“You live with your choices and learn. You don‘t cheat the system.”
so-soA decent spec-fic thriller. The narration is rapid and choppy which heightens the sense of urgency, but gets repetitive when used to describe scenes. A bit heavy on tropes (smart man motivated by gorgeous wife, tempted by beautiful companion-in-crisis, etc.) but the story moved on fast enough to let things slide. The premise is wild and thought-provoking, making this an entertaining read.
pickCool book with an even more interesting concept… what if you could see a world where things went different. This books gives you a story of grief and longing for what could have been. As a man searches for a way back home he knows.
Was an amazing story of humanly with a lot of physics that‘s not that hard to understand
pickJason, a physics professor finds himself in one moment making his family dinner to being abducted and shoved into a parallel world that is not his own. He finds out that a version of himself has created a way to access the multiverse where he both exists and doesn‘t in trillions of different parallel worlds. This book was brilliant and the butterfly effect/Schrödinger‘s cat vibes made for an epic read!
pickBlake Crouch has crafted a masterpiece that seamlessly blends science fiction with an emotionally resonant narrative. “Dark Matter“ is a must-read for anyone seeking a thought-provoking and exhilarating journey through the unknown, and I highly recommend it to fellow readers, especially those who enjoy a perfect balance of heart and suspense!
Thank you @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for this festive bunch of goodies! The Sphynx sticker 🩵. I look forward to reading this, Crouch‘s books are such a wild ride!
so-soJason is on a mission to find his family and salvage the life he has with them but he has obstacles created by different versions of himself.
At the risk of sounding ironic, I thought this was predictable.

I love my new bookmark 😂🫶🏻
So far this is a very interesting mind twist of an introduction!

This one is quite a mindfuck😂😵💫
Super interesting, very futuristic!
Beaten up on the way home one night, Jason finally wakes up to find out his wife is not his wife and his son was never born… 😬
so-soDark Matter is a sci-fi action-adventure flick in book form. Unfortunately, action storylines *really* aren‘t my thing, no matter what format they‘re in. My chances of liking this better as a movie would‘ve been higher, though, especially if it were a visually stunning film with a killer soundtrack. As it stands, the only appreciation I can give it is to say that the ending was well-done. It‘s just not the type of writing I want to read. 🤷♀️
First day of staycation from my library job? Visited a different library and got a stack of books. Of course. 😅 I was picking up the tagged, which is my book club book. But you all know it‘s impossible to leave with just one…
Isnt it funny when all your holds come in at the same time. I already had two books I checked out yesterday. I got alot of reading I have to do. #libraryhaul #bookaholic

I really enjoyed the combination of horror elements, physics and a love story all wrapped in one. Jason‘s Doppelgänger forcefully trades worlds, he must fight through the multiverses and multiple Jason‘s to get back to his family: the glue keeping him together. The descriptions, writing style and constant questions kept pulling me in deeper. Intense and thought provoking, worth the hype.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this book! I found it super absorbing and fast paced. The story was really intriguing. It‘s one of my husband‘s favorite books and now I see why. I‘m interested in reading more Blake Crouch!
so-soI feel like this might be an unpopular opinion but i didnt thought this book waa the amazing book everyone talked about. Yes it was interesting and a very quick read but i felt like it was missing something. Everyone talk about how great of a book this is but for me it was just meh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI'm on vacation and have read 3 books so far. I enjoyed this one. His writing reminds me of Michael Crichton (but maybe only because they're both sci-fi?).
pickOh my God I could not put this down. It‘s one of the most unique books I‘ve ever read. I can‘t say I can quite rap my head around some of the concepts, but it‘s not for lack of explanation, just the ideas being pretty unimaginable.
Saw a comment from Blake Crouch in regards to the 'Dark Matter' tv series that's being made. Did he just say 'first book'? Is Dark Matter getting a sequel?

pickThere are books you recommend. Then there are books you want to go out and buy twenty copies of and give them to everybody like, ‘You have to read this now!‘
This is one of those books.
This is repeatedly popping up in my search for comps for my own novel. Pretty sure it isn‘t going to quite fit my needs, but it sounds too good to pass over.
pickAbout 2/3 of the way through this book I thought it was running out of steam and basically over bar the wrap-up and couldn't believer how much there was left to go, but then an unexpected twist,which nevertheless perfectly cohered with what had gone before, came and the last third was just as much of an enjoyable ride as the earlier parts of the book had been.
pickWhat a total mind f*ck and I loved it! A real page-turner with lots of action and tension. I will definitely watch the Apple TV+ series when it comes out!

Wow. I love when a book is entertaining and thought provoking. Definitely had some late nights both reading and thinking about what I just read.
pickGripping, thought-provoking glimpse into what it might be like to encounter some of our infinite other selves in the multiverse. Poignant, fast-paced thriller with a rewarding ending.
so-soThis was an alright and quick read. I think I was mostly a little sad, because I thought there would be more to it than there actually ended up being. I had this hyped up to me, so I thought it wouldn't be as straightforward as I found it. However, I did enjoy the concept and execution of it. I will also say that I don't usually read first person pov, so that might have contributed to my experience.
pick🕰A page turner. Loved it! ⚛⏰

pickA little mind-boggling for me. I can‘t say I know anything about quantum theory and multiverses, so who knows how accurate this was. But it was a fun, suspenseful read!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
My daughter, for one, will be very excited to see this news. I imagine this is also true for many of us on Litsy. This book was a fun read and a series adaptation should be a lot of fun. Plus, Uncle Owen…I mean Joel Edgerton.
Yay Twitterverse with the fun news!
pickHOLY MOLY!! Wow wow wow. This year has been filled with good books, and this is definitely gonna be somewhere on top. 📖
Everything is about choices. Every time there is an option new universes open. So what happens when you try to reach the same goal a hundred different ways?
This was a journey into the lives that could be, whether Jason wanted them or not.
