I mostly enjoyed this one and will give it that extra star I didn't give [b:Dark Matter|27833670|Dark Matter|Blake Crouch|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1472119680l/27833670.SY75.jpg|43161998] though the ending where it looked like he may not make it didn't fool me. I knew it couldn't end that way so I found that part annoying. I'm being a bit vague to leave out the spoilers, but did it fool you? Maybe it would work in the movie version.

The idea of time and memory being connected was a good one which, far as I know, hasn't been done before. (Though everything has been done before, I know.)

There's a certain warmth to Blake Crouch's books. I find I miss them when they're over and I'm left out in the cold. They're memorable. High neuronal footprint.
