Let me just say that reading 'Dark Matter' by Blake Crouch was not just reading a book; it was a whole freaking experience! I haven't dabbled too much into the world of Science Fiction but my favorite used bookstore had a copy of this and I was obsessed with the cover so on a whim I decided to snag it! 

I dived into it right away (ignoring the 100's of other books on my TBR - I'm not ashamed). I didn't read the summary and went in 100% blind. The first couple of chapters left me a little confused and I wasn't sure where it was going - but when we got there. *mind blown*

We're following the main character Jason, who is living in Chicago with his family as a college professor. One evening, he leaves his wife Daniela and son Charlie at home to go to a local pub and celebrate the accolades of a friend who recently has won a science award that Jason at one time had hoped to receive himself. Feeling a little down on his luck, realizing what he'd given up in the pursuit of his family, he decides to leave the bar and spend a little time to himself walking around the city before heading home. Then, out of nowhere, he's hijacked but a masked figure and after a series of events wakes up in a place that he doesn't know or recognize - but they know him and even 'welcome him home'. 

Incredibly confused and frightened, he tries to run and we follow him as he starts processing what he thinks is happening. After a series of events that we follow over the course of a day or two Jason  ultimately, ends up back at that Laboratory.  He realizes that he is no longer the Jason he once was - this Jason had given up the idea of a family years ago and pursued his Physicist Career and he may have just cracked the code on the multiverse. That's all I'm going to say! 

This novel is a mind-bending masterpiece that takes the concept of alternate realities to a whole new level. A compelling narrative, this book is thought-provoking and thrilling. I found myself cheering for Jason on multiple occasions as he goes on a quest to unravel the mystery of his existence and experiences the rollercoaster that is the multiverse. 

Can he get home? Will he crack the code? Read to find out! *winks*

A few weeks later and I'm still thinking about this book. I have been recommending it to people, I'm trying to find people who have read it because I want to talk about it with them. It was just that good. I 100% plan to read the rest of anything Blake Crouch has written and promise myself to dabble a little further into the world of Science Fiction!
