Hello! Been so long to write again about book review! Here I am, writing another book written by Blake Crouch. The novel is released long ago and has been so popular. The rumor that it will be filmed, but there is still no movie.
After finished the book, I am reminded by “US”, a movie by Jordan Peele, told about doppleganger. If
you take hint about the doppleganger, Dark Matter has a similarity with it. The
book focus on Jason Dessen, a psychic professor. He found that his home, his
wife, and his son are gone after he got unconscious. After that, he aware that
he in the different reality. He is neither a dad nor a husband. He is still a
professor but in more advanced position than he think of. The surprises and
twists will go along as the story goes.
I have read and watched so many
story about time travel or parallel world. So that, I don’t take the twists and
surprises in this book as it should. Besides that, the story is fast-paced and original.
The story in the middle part is my favorite, when he and his friend (Ugh I forgot
her name) trapped in the “dark matter”. Jason is depressed but I found it is
good how the character developed and influenced the plot, also why he differ
than the other Jasons.
If I compared to the Recursion
written by the same author, I think the Recursion is better. The story from
Recursion is more intriguing and fast-paced. But, I more comfortable to read
Dark Matter. I do not know why, even though, both of the story’s core is love
(especially with the wife or girlfriend), Dark Matter is given me less headache
and cringe scenes. I still hope there will be a movie, either Dark Matter or Recursion
or both.
If you like mind-bending and
science fiction, you obviously should read this! Anything from Blake Crouch is recommended
to read for sci-fi lovers.
