The book was suspenseful with an interesting concept and loveable protagonists - it has everything a great thriller should have (maybe except for surprising plot twists; I found them all a little bit too foreseeable).

I... I have no words.
This is a mindfuck movie in book form.
So, I was intrigued at the beginning. Then absolutely in love with the whole middle part. And I hated the last part. Well, hated is maybe a little too strong of a word. Let's say it was already a mind blowing book but then Crouch went one step too far for my taste and it was a little too hard to process for me to fully enjoy that part. I'll give bonus points here though because I really didn't see some of the things coming. And the ending was in fact... good? It made sense for the plot and wrapped things up satisfyingly. Which I was not counting on tbh.
Despite my personal issues with it, this is an amazing book as a whole. Its a super fast paced Sci-Fi/Thriller with a cool story and cool settings. It's very action packed which I usually don't enjoy, but I guess Blake Crouch books are an exception to this rule now, because I really like his action sequences. Maybe because they are still clear and easy to process/imagine and just fit so well with the story.
On the other hand it explores some super interesting themes. Who are we, what exactly makes us the individuals we are? Are there decisions we regret and would we change them if we had a chance?
