Reviews with content warning for Violence - Dark Matter

A real page-turner, but not for me. Flat characters, too much violence, not enough thoughtful exploration of the mechanics of THE BOX or the philosophies for living a good life. Might be a good TV series but wouldn’t recommend.

very fast paced, feels like reading an action thriller plot. perfect for getting out of a reading slump
i definitely thought at the end “how is he going to resolve the plot in these last couple pages….” and then he didn’t so

This book was a wild intense read. Its a story of love in the multiverse with a dark twist I was not expecting. Read it from start to finish in 3 hours because i couldnt put it down!

Gave me a lot to think about in our world and myself and "what could have been." Im grateful for the life i lead now. It could have ended up so so differently.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars

Dark Matter is a gripping sci-fi thriller filled with scientific theories, unexpected dangers and emotional turmoil. The Novel follows our main character, Jason, after he is abducted by a masked stranger and his ordinary cosy life is suddenly snatched away. Jason would do anything to return to his beloved wife, Daniela, and son, Charlie, but now they are worlds apart and separated by an infinite number of choices.

I adored this novel. It had me on the edge of my seat, gasping in shock and even in tears from the sheer emotion of Jason’s situation. I was simply gripped from the beginning, from the perfect blend of thriller, action and heart this novel contained. Not only did Crouch create an interesting and compelling story, they also managed to portray the hopelessness and agony of losing a loved one and the lengths humans would go to be reunited with the people they care about most. It’s not easy to get a reader to truly care about fictional characters but I really related to Jason and felt genuine sympathy and heartbreak for his character. For all this, I have nothing but praise for this novel and the author.

Overall this was a fantastic read and I would highly recommend this novel to any readers with even a passing interest in science fiction, thrillers or the horror of true infinity.
