Review: Dark Matter

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well that was original! Have you ever wondered if back when you were younger you had made a different critical decision and that your life could be completely different today if you had changed that decision?

It's all about how one decision you make in life branches to a bunch of alternate universes and that branch creates another branch and another and another until infinity of trillions of possible outcomes. It's pretty mind fucking lol

I enjoyed this book but I felt it could have done better. There were some little things that didn't make sense but meh lol. Also the story would be better as a movie instead of a book.

I want to say what this book is really about but it's kind of a spoiler so if you want to read it >> (view spoiler)[ This book is about jumping from one universe to another parallel universe to see of what would have happened if you didn't make a certain decision and how would life pan out. The main character keeps jumping from one to another, but he ends up wanting his original life back (or at least the version we're reading does). But since he has this ability to jump that means there's trillions of other versions of him trying to jump too lol and a bunch of them want to all meet at his original life and they have to fight for it, who get's to be with the wife and kids in the end? (hide spoiler)]
