I would 10000% watch this movie. It was incredible! Crouch’s writing took me to a world I felt so immersed in, that I was felt empty nearing the end of the book. Highly recommend if you’re into sci fi or looking for a sci fi book!

This book left me stunned. What a remarkably well written deeply thought provoking and emotional novel. It reads like a movie and is a rollercoaster of emotions throughout. Earned every bit of the 5 stars I gave it, however if I had to have any feedback it would be that the middle is a bit slow moving and because its such a brain bender of a book it is not a fast read. You will need to sit and process what you read each time, which is ok but if you aren't expecting that I could see some people not liking it as much . I appreciate that this book questions how we view and perceive time , memories and the world itself. It had me sobbing at the end and wondering if there will be a second book to complete this one or if it intentionally left us wanting more ...

GOOGLE TOLD ME THIS WAS A SEQUEL TO DARK MATTER AND IT IS NOT. took me until literally half an hour before I finished it to double check this because this man’s bit is so specific it… could’ve ended up being? But it’s just a straight up different book. Was good though

Wow. Blake Crouch has done it again with an absolutely incredible novel. I went into this skeptical that he could match the magnitude of Dark Matter and damn was my skepticism wrong. This book is similar but different from Dark Matter and is equally as great. This book follows the perspective of Barry, and NYC detective, and Helena, a genius scientist. Experiencing the lives of these two separately and together was wonderful and I wish I had more. The science behind this theory is so thought-provoking and disturbing at times, and it is contrasted with the stark humanity and emotion within the players. I could not describe this book to someone without just telling them to read it and see for themselves. Just as Dark Matter, I found that I cannot quite look at love and existence the same way as I did before reading this.
