Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
1.0

This book was okay I guess, it’s an entertaining enough story although the concept has been vastly overused in my opinion.

I knew from the first few pages in that I wouldn’t really like it but I was determined to ride it out and see where it went. It’s a short read after all. But I do hate myself for that decision.

This is some serious 21st century, softened up, goes down easy like baby food literature. There is no edge to the characters or story at all. I will forget about this book within a month.

It’s not poorly written and the science fiction concepts seem sound on an elementary level. It’s a certain lack of detail, effort and reliance on typical, cliche, and utterly predictable characters that made this book rile me.

I’ve been James Patterson’d and I’m so ashamed
