”My understanding of identity has been shattered—I am one facet of an infinitely faceted being called Jason Dessie who has made every possible choice and lived every life imaginable.”

I don’t know what I expected, but Dark Matter exceeded expectations when it comes to viewing one’s life and choices. I think I read this exactly at the right time in my life.

Wow, just wow. I can’t think of a single thing wrong with this book, right from the concept, to the pacing, to the many twists and turns the story takes you through.

This book is so fantastic.
It confused the hell out of me, but I just can't even describe how good it was.
The plot is so well written, even though it got a bit confusing at times (which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars) but I have never read a book with a more interesting plot. ...more
