11.12.2016 - Dark Matter

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this intriguing book!

It seems that I've read a few books on what life would be life if we were to have chosen a different path (The Versions of Us, Life After Life), but this one really puts a spin on that concept. Sometimes when I read a SciFi book, I end up feeling not quite smart enough. That happened in this book but not enough that I didn't really enjoy this one.

Jason was an atomic physicist on the verge of a big discovery when he met Daniela, an up-and-coming artist. When Daniela gets pregnant, life changes their path. They become parents, take lesser jobs to focus on their family, and expect to live happily ever after. Until Jason is kidnapped while coming home from a bar to celebrate his old friend's scientific award. Life as he knows it is forever changed. When he wakes up, nothing is as it was before. He is in a world where he was never married, never had a son. Which version of Jason is real?

A really good book that leads in a direction you can't imagine - enjoy the ride!
