"This is a great book for people who enjoy sci-fi thrillers that combine a fast paced story with some real science theory. This is one of my favorites from Crouch and I am really excited that it is being adapted as a show that launches on Apple TV+ in May and have already added it to my Likewise Watchlist"

"Wow, I liked this book so much more than I thought I would! I was hooked at the beginning! Talked about things I don't quite understand, but he writes really well and I was able to follow and understand everything! Very cool, I highly recommend!"

"I discovered Blake Crouch when I read Recursion. Dark Matter is a close second just because I enjoyed Recursion so much. If Marvel hasn’t soured you on the multiverse, you might enjoy this one. Still on my sci-fi kick and Crouch does a great job explaining while giving you characters that you can care about. There’s some cool stuff here."

Damien Scott

"Liked it but I don’t think sci-fi is really for me. Felt very slow."

"This was the 3rd book by B. Crouch I read and I think it's my 2nd favorite of his. (Recursion being first and Upgrade being 3rd) It was a bit slow until (SPOILER) he entered that chat room then the story really picked up. He categorizes it as a love story which I can definitely see, and it's my kind of love story. (Not the typical romance type). Great scifi read and he really has a knack for intertwining real science into his stories that make his storytelling that much more believable and intriguing. "

"this book got quite a bit of buzz a few years ago and it’s been on my tbr ever since. finally got around to it after being skeptical for so long and i am so glad i did. this is an intriguing and intrinsically cinematic story that has lots of satisfying sci-fi twists along with compelling character development."
