Okay, getting this out of the way. I had this book spoiled because I watched the show with some friends before even knowing it was a book.That, I believe, ruined the immersion for me. It was devastating reading and just knowing what was happening next. I hated it so much. I can’t even rate this book right because I was so disappointed that I expected everything. It felt like driving a road I’ve driven many times before; looking for landmarks instead of being in wonder. AGH. Anyways, I adore this book. I want it to be in my top five so bad, it just didn’t emotionally carry me because of the spoilers (ToT). The quantum mechanics, the themes, the actions, the psychological element, the suspense, the science, the ideas, it ALL is just perfectly lined up to be something I love. The story was amazing. I am still processing it, but perfect book, would recommend to any and everyone.

This was a fun thrilling take on the multiverse theory. I honestly wasn't sure at one point how it would all work out but Crouch pulled it together in a rather unexpected way.

This was a great read! I adore the math and physics side of this nerdy sci-fi, and I enjoyed it enough to read it in a single sitting. My only complaint was that the final 10-15% of this book moved too quickly compared to the rest, making the ending feel somewhat rushed compared to the way the rest of the plot was laid out.

Once this book takes off, it never lets go. I devoured most of it in a single sitting because I had to know what happened next. It's mind-bending, fast-paced, and hits hard with its "what if" premise. It takes twists and turns that I didn't expect and kept me invested. That being said, it has a slow start, a few awkward moments, and some lingering unanswered questions kept it just shy of 5 stars for me.

I would recommend this book. For anyone who’s ever wondered what their life would be like if they had made a different choice at an earlier date or thought about the could-have-been things, this book is a definite page turner. The sci fi thriller I needed.

This is the best book I've read in some time. It raises interesting ethical questions, and puts an interesting and unexpected focus on family life. It would probably technically be a thriller, but I'm very sensitive and I wasn't upset by events, language, etc. There's a wide audience for Dark Matter. I don't want to spoil anything, just know that I heartily recommend this as one of the best books I've read in the last year or so.
