Book Review #40: "Dark Matter"

Professional Reader


Hey Everyone,
    I am going to review the book "Dark Matter," by Blake Crouch. This book is hot off the press being published today July 26, 2016 by Crown Publishing. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the author Blake Crouch, he is best known for his book called Pines (The Wayward Pines Series). And as you know this book has been made into a TV series on FOX network. "Dark Matter" is about the choices we make in life and how all the choices we make lead us into different paths. It is about how far we will go to make the best choices. Jason Dessen is a physics professor with a wife and child he loves. Jason ends up discovering a way to time travel back through important moments in his life where, through this time traveling he is able to make different choices. And then of which he is able to see his present and future of what would happen if he made a different choice. It is a story of regret but in learning how to make choices he will not regret. 
     Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This was one mind bending book. My mind, thoughts was constantly going. This review is not going to do this book justice because there is no good way to describe it. This book is as mind bending as trying to tell a child how to put a concrete value on infinity. This book took place in a world where there is infinite amount of choices we make throughout our lives from choosing the clothes we wear to choosing whether or not to have kids. This book examines each of our choices and how our lives would have played out with every different choice we make.  This book had my mind churning, the whole time, even when I was not even reading it. I love books like this, books that light the fire in our brains. I love it when I find a new author and a good book.  It was so intriguing that I am looking forward to reading the Wayward Pines series.
     I would like to thank Netgalley, Blake Crouch, and Crown Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
