Recursion by Blake Crouch 5 stars

[Rachel N.]

Barry Sutton is a police officer who becomes interested in false memory syndrome after trying to help a suicidal women with it. People suffering from the syndrome have memories of different events occurring in their life along with the life they are living. Helena Smith is working on a device that will store memories to try to stop alzheimers disease. The story rapidly becomes more complex but it is also a compelling page turner. There are a few parts that reminded me of Crouch's previous book Dark Matter but it is a unique story. I don't want to give much away since the book is newly released but I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am still thinking about issues it raised.

I need to get back to this. I started it last week but have been focusing on my other two books because it really draws you in. However, I have one beef with it only, but not because it isn't well written. I like it quite a bit better than Dark Matters.

I still want to get to Dark Matter!! But nice to know this one is equally as good!

I just finished this one too! 5 stars from me. I must admit I am a sucker for time travel but this went way beyond and asked more interesting questions. I was about half way through it when I came home from work yesterday and just plowed through it. I think this one was more mind-bending than Dark Matter.

Great to see this review Rachel. I loved Dark Matter so I'm glad that this one is equally as good. I'll save it for when I need a pick me up book.

I am tired of time travel--I used to love it but I've read so very much of it having bit my teeth on hard core scifi at the ripe old age of 10 (plus I've read it in many types of fiction). This is what is bringing it down from 5 stars for me, BUT I do like it better than Dark Matter.
