DARK MATTER

Author:  Blake Crouch
Genre:  Sci-Fi, Standalone
Published:  2016
Personal Rating:  3.25/5 (just okay +)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Jon Lindstrom
Yearly Count:  51


A man is kidnapped, then finds himself in another universe.

Well, I didn't find this as captivating as many others have, but it was still a decent listen.  I was very intrigued in the beginning, the middle was just okay -- it became a little redundant and I was ready to move on, and then the ending was predictable.  Even though I've rated it a 3.25/5, I certainly don't feel it was a waste of time.  It definitely was an interesting concept (which his writing conveyed very well) and one that we often think about . . .
what if . . . ?

  1. This is the second so-so review I've read of this today. I think I'll skip it.

  2. I loved this thriller! I wonder if that's because I read it rather than listened.

    1. Les ~ I have discovered that for me reading definitely promotes a deeper connection with the book, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reason. It did become redundant for me, so ... ? My husband liked it a little bit more than I did.
