A review by kaitays
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
3.0
As a quick, low stakes read, I could say I enjoyed this book. Don't dive too deep into the logistics and just take it for what it is. It is an action-packed, slightly romantic, and captivating thriller. Not intending to, it speaks to how far some people are willing to go for the ones they love, but will in turn ask you to elevate the validity of expressing that love.
Although I am satisfied with the ending, because I do like when things work out, I am not sure if it was warranted. With the amount of turmoil, missing information, and amount of improbability of success the protagonist was facing, it is hard to accept it at face value. That takes me back to the beginning of my review, if you ignore that you can enjoy the book.
I loved the family structure (I love a man who is devoted) and the concept of what happens with the choices we don't make, which is why I can review it positively. Plus, the book was written well with enough interesting elements to make this a page turner.
Initial Response: 3.5/5; Recommend?: 3/5; Re-Readability: 3/5 Characters: 3/5; Plot: 3/5
Overall: 3.1/5
Would Purchase?: Yes
