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 think I might just do that. Give the premise and my thoughts. Thanks, Carol! :)

I'm loving this so far, so happy to see 5 stars from you!
I can't wait to get farther into this book (hopefully can read more tonight)! Glad you loved it!
Makes a person's brain do flipflops, doesn't it? Good review, Jennifer!
Wow, there is quite a cheering section for this book. Glad you didn't spoil any surprises. Nice review.
What a box! Great review. Glad the audio version was 5 stars too!
I can't do sci fI, but love your enthusiastic review Jennifer.

Your review, intrigues. Not a scyfy lover but may try this one.
I don't like sci fi and rarely can I suspend disbelief but you and other Goodread friends have me intrigued now so going to add this one and take my chances. :-)
Love your enthusiasm:)

Loved your enthusiastic review, Jennifer!! I can't pass up insanity in a box!
Awesome review Jen! I just got this one from the library but will now hold off for the audio. After reading your review I need the audio. :-) Glad you liked this one so much.

I did read one Audible review in which someone put this narrator down. I was surprised because I thought he actually enhanced this book. I'll be curious to see what you think. :)
A review that leaves me wanting to know so much more about the book, Jen. Will try and lay my hands on a copy. Great review. x
Great review, Jennifer. Glad you enjoyed it!!!
That's great that you can really get into audio books. When the reader is perfect, it can really bring the book alive. I myself am an avid listener of audio books. Some people have an issue with their mind wondering -- perhaps you are like me, in that this wandering mind is never an issue. When I listen, I can lock in for a hour or two at a time.
