Review: Dark Matter

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of the many reviews I read pointed out that reading Dark Matter was like watching a thrilling science fiction movie. That description was so much on point. This book was so messy yet mind-blowing yet convincing yet out of the world. The journey was insane and I abso-fucking-lutely enjoy this book.

Fast-paced. I ain't sure about the finish copy but the ARC ebook copy was written in very short sentence. Story was told in many one-sentence-paragraphs instead of one long-winded paragraph. It sure was a lot easier to read. Informations are more likely to be read and understood. It also shows the pacing of the book. The shorter the sentence, the quicker the pace.

"That everything which has a probability of happening is happening. Everything that might have occurred in our past did occur, only in another universe."


I guess that one sentence is enough to explain the whole plot. Yes, crazy it is.

"Every moment, every breath, contains a choice. But life is imperfect. We make the wrong choices. So we end up living in a state of perpetual regret, and is there anything worse?"

"Life doesn't work the way. You live with your choices and learn. You don't cheat the systems."


I love the conversations revolving about making life choices and the hidden message about life the book trying to insinuate. Everyone make their choice on their life, and they should face the own consequences of that choice.

Insane story but great book!
