Everything I'd hoped for

Since we listened to Dark Matter, my husband and I have been huge Blake Crouch fans. This book was everything we had hoped for. An amazing gripping story with the perfect amount of Scifi, romance and mystery. Absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it.

Poor SciFi and long read

Usually SciFi authors are vague about the initial premise and that is acceptable as it's about the imagination given the premise that really pulls us into SciFi.

The author has taken the vagueness to the extreme and the main inventor herself has no clue whats happening and in the middle of the book the author tried to give some mumbo jumbo around wormholes. And the imagination around how the story proceeds given the premise is also poorly done.

And for a book that deals with time, it took too much time to end. The last third was just a huge stretch that could have been easily effectively compressed. The ending was a easy way out for the author, and author taking it easy becomes a theme across the book.

Overall, if you have read and enjoyed SciFi books, don't expect this book to impress you. If you weren't impressed with Dark Matter, you wouldn't be with this one as well.

Beautiful

Blake Crouch is fast becoming one of my favourite authors and I can't wait to start tge next one!

"Memory is all he's made of."

First time I've read a Blake Crouch, and I can only say - brilliant.
Loved the book, terrified by the concept and totally applauding of narrators Non Undstrom
m and Abby Craven for their excellent performances. Their contrasting voices in a!alternating chapters both helped keep the story as clear as could be expected from tangled and overlapping concept sequences, but also brought a fine warmth into the characters portrayed.

Loved the book, made even better by the reading. Highly recommended

Excellent

Really enjoyable. Read this one after dark matter which for me was the better of the two but this one was also great.
