Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

I feel like the tone and pacing is perfect for a film adaptation, turns out there is one on Apple TV+. That I might check out though for the book, I’m not compelled enough to finish. I’m fairly certain that Jason is one of those supposedly ‘genius’ characters that acts dumb and make bad decisions and I would have none of that. The writing, I guess isn't that bad but I don't have enough to judge based on this early parts. I find some phrases a little awkward though i.e revoltingly quiet and hemorrhages frustration. Overall, I have a feeling that this is more suitable for new readers of sci-fi genre and not for those looking for a stellar read. I’ll give Recursion a try and hopefully it does better.
