Mind blowing and incredibly tense start to finish. Full of brilliantly crafty twists and turns as you fall further down the rabbit hole.

Such a good read! Took me a second to get into it but once I got passed the first fourth of the book I was HOOKED. Not only was it well written as a unique story, but it got me thinking about choices, life, what matters, what we live for. I liked it a lot. Also lots of spins that I did not see coming in the last third of the book.

This book took me days to stop talking about, I think I convinced about twelve people to read it. It's such a cool take on the multi-dimensional thriller with some aspects I hadn't seen before. I am proud to say that I saw TWO plot things coming and that makes me happy. Because of this book, Blake Crouch is pretty much on my auto-read list now. 

There are several realities that just rip your frooken heart out and stamp on it, it leaves you with questions and arse backwards arguments you want to have with the characters and just. Wow. Yes. Do.

A sci-fi thriller, this book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was interesting and well-written. The story is compelling, unsettling, and fantastical. parts of the science-y description/explanation were outside my realm of comprehension but all in all this book is incredibly accessible to all readers. The chapters are really long but the writing style made the book fly by for me.
