Wow, a very interesting book about parallel universe and how our actions will determine our life, big and small. And regrets will always be there XD
The main character is sometimes a bit to whiny, but I like the concept of this book, and all the mind blowing revelations. Also love the Chicago setting. Recommended if you like fast paced thriller with scifi elements.

I had high expectations for this book, but I had a difficult time sustaining my interest throughout. There were times that I found the story to be fascinating, at other times I thought that it lagged, and then by the end, I found myself laughing out loud how overtop it could be. I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. The book often reads like a script. That, coupled with all of the action that takes place during the story, makes it pretty clear that the book was written for the movies. I kep

The reviews pushed me to not ignore this amazing book. 5 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
The well-written story and thrills kept me invested in it even though it’s not my typical kind of read).
The anticipation, relationships, suspense!!!, and finally a worthwhile ending really kept me entertained.
It's also an interesting and unique book. I really enjoyed the main character, Jason, his family, and the setting (like getting to know a movie family). Crouch created this warm fictional family set in my hometown of Chicago. Tha ...more

4.5 Stars. I could have finished this in one sitting if I didn’t have something going on with my eyes which makes reading for more than thirty minutes at a time painful. This is totally Matt Damon movie fodder - sort of Jason Bourne meets Adjustment Bureau meets Orphan Black meets something else. Loved the ride.
Every once in a while, you read a story that churns your brain. Dark Matter was one of those for me. Each turn of the story had me engrossed and it went in directions I wouldn’t have ever been able to predict! If anyone has read this and could recommend similar books to me, please do because I loved this one.
Literally read this in 5 and a half hours. I was so hooked and drawn into the story that I couldn't stop. Plus I'm sick. Ha! Such a good story. Very original.

This is a book that I didn't think I would like but ended up staying up late to find out how it ended. There are many references to math and physics but the book does not require any background in these areas to understand what is happening.

I really enjoyed this. I guess for me the most intriguing is the scientific premise of quantum mechanical, superposition, and the multiverse. And then it was a fun story running through.

This was the best book I have read in a while. I didn't want to put it down. Recently I read a short story by Jorge Luis Borges (The Garden of Forking Paths) that kind of reminds me of this, as well. Weird how you can stumble on the same ideas from completely different sources within a short time of each other.
