This book had me bingeing 150 pages in one setting. I think this reminded me how much I love a good action book from Blake Crouch. The thesis of the whole work landed well for me and the book was just good. It took you on a ride and that's the kind of book I like! The ideas of the multi-world moment had me thinking and was something fresh and different from what I normally read. There were elements that did have me rolling my eyes and somehow, the story got tied in a nice little bow. I actually would have liked a darker ending. That's just me though.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed Dark Matter and would suggest it to someone who wants a book that they cannot put down!
