Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

3.0

Super quick read, mainly due to the fast-paced writing style and compelling story premise. It was fairly predictable to me, except for maybe one part near the end. But overall, it was an entertaining ride and should make for a better movie. A couple things that bothered me was the author's use of "I say" or "She says" BEFORE the actual quoted dialogue. I say, "Why?" It was jarring and didn't need to be there. Also, the whole relationship that Jason has with his wife and son felt very artificial and contrived. The entire book rests on creating a believable love for these two people in his life, and that just fell flat to me.
