LOVED IT!!! This book is insanity in a box! 5 stars! Believe the hype! Do not read many reviews! If you like sci fi or want something different and can suspend disbelief read or listen to this book!
This is the audio version review! The audio narrated by actor, Jon Lindstrom, is as good as it gets! He was the perfect narrator for "Dark Matter". This man was born to narrate books! He's that good!
"Dark Matter" starts out pretty simple and then very quickly it turns insane and just keeps getting crazier and crazier. When you think it can't get any crazier it does! Trust me! I will never look at a box the same way again! If there is a trigger warning for boxes this book should have it! Lol!
Jason Desson is a physicist. He has been married to Daniela for years. He has a son, Charlie, who is almost 15 years old. He's generally a happy guy. He works at a college and loves his family. One day he goes to a bar. When he leaves the bar everything changes! That's it. That's all the plot summery I'm giving you because from there I would be going into spoiler territory.
I will share one quote that I think avoids spoilers, but might peak your curiosity: "Is it possible to outthink yourself". Boom! And that's all folks!!!
Read it!!!

I love it on Goodreads. It's my favorite social media place. In this political climate Facebook is a cesspool of hate. This is a great distraction from it!:)
I've been listening to audio books more and more over the last year and I'm always looking for a good one, so I'll add this one to the list! Thanks!

Sounds awesome Jennifer! I can never rap my mind around sci-fi but man oh man your enthusiasm is infectious... perhaps I'll try:)

Love your review and it's the only one am going to read until I've read the book. Audio? Hmmm, never have I ever loved audio versions but I might give this one an exception.

I listen to a lot of audio now because I get horrible migraines due to vision problems. Most people are reading the hardcover but this one is a good audio, too!:)

Thank you so much, Rose!:)
I have a questions for you Jennifer -- If I hate sci-fi do you still recommend this one for me, or should I skip it?
Jennifer wrote: "I have a questions for you Jennifer -- If I hate sci-fi do you still recommend this one for me, or should I skip it?"I'm not a huge Sci fi fan and I loved it. I think if you can suspend disbelief you will at least like it. It has a good story to it. I hope that helps, Jennifer!:)
My wife does not like sci-fi and is loving this book, too! I feel like if you like thrillers or mysteries, you would like this one. It is just one of those with some sci-fi elements.
Matthew wrote: "My wife does not like sci-fi and is loving this book, too! I feel like if you like thrillers or mysteries, you would like this one. It is just one of those with some sci-fi elements."Thank you, Matthew. I didn't know whether to recommend it or not to Jennifer.:)
Jennifer wrote: "Thank you, Matthew. I didn't know whether to recommend it or not to Jennifer.:)"I'll take all the credit if she likes it!;)
If she doesn't... well, she got the info on your review so it is your fault!:D HA!
Thank you, Jennifer and Matthew! I do like thrillers and mysteries. so we will see. Still on the fence about this one.
Thanks for the great review. On my reading list this month so I'm really looking forward to reading it now!
@Jennifer - I will look forward to your review if you read it!:)
