it was amazing

What on Earth can I say about this book? I don’t even know how to describe it. I’m just going to say it was totally AWESOME!!! It's an incredibly unique page-turner, and I couldn't put it down.

This was my first read by Blake Crouch, and Dark Matter was literally an action packed roller coaster ride! I was thoroughly engaged and engrossed by the story. I went into this book totally blind and had no idea of the plot. Also, there were surprises along the way, the book is unpredictable, and I remained on edge until the end.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys thrillers and honestly can’t believe anybody would hate it. I thought it was AMAZING and so far the best thrilling fiction I’ve read in a long, long time.

I’m hoping for a second book, and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author. I can surely see this adapted into a movie or TV series, seriously! 

My rating on this one is 5*****

Francisca Enticing review Mischenko. I added to my list a few days ago and now I can;t wait to read it.


Serena Great review! I just finished this one and loved it.


Sarah Totally agree with your review. You might have read it by now but if you liked this then I would give Recursion a go. I read Recursion first, which turned me onto Dark Matter and loved both equally!

I somehow missed this comment, Fran! Hope you enjoy it if you haven’t already read it. 🧡 Thank you

Oh, thanks! Believe it or not, I haven’t read anything else by him yet, so thank you for the recommendation. Glad you loved them both!
