4.5 Stars!
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was a very addicting read! It was mostly a science fiction novel with a little bit of romance and some suspense to make it a most enjoyable read. All three of those components is what I really liked about this novel. I was hooked from the very first chapter!
While the story started out really strong for me there were some portions of this novel that I just didn't get and it was a little hard to follow the mechanics of it all. I think that if there was less of the scientific background (although there wasn't really all that much) that was introduced to us it would have gotten a full 5* review from me. I don't need everything broke down or analyzed for me, it is fiction so I just go with it! But, it was filled with non-stop action and had a very dramatic storyline to make it quite the page-turner and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
The storyline was extremely interesting and I really liked the authors writing style as I felt that I was actually experiencing what was happening to the characters rather than just reading about it. I was definitely in the moment while reading this one. What is your position in the universe?
It was an intriguing, enjoyable, fast-paced, and quick read with a satisfying ending. Would recommend!!

Excellent review, Norma! I was so glad that you included your reason why this read dropped a Star for you. I have this one so now I just need to figure out if the scientific part will deflate my interest or not. Thank you so much! :)
Your so very welcome, Jaline and thank you too! You have just given me a thought that I think it’s a good idea to include why a book doesn’t get full ratings when I think it was a great read. I used to include that all the time but have gotten away from that lately. Might just have to include my reasoning in the future! So thank you for that! 😘
Awesome review, Norma!! I glad you enjoyed it!! 😊

And I also realized that I am remiss in being consistent with it, too. Although, I will admit that sometimes I can't quite put my finger on why it's a 4 Star instead of a 5. (Or, maybe I'm just not trying hard enough - lol)
