Melissa reviewed Upgrade by Blake Crouch
Review of 'Upgrade' on 'Goodreads'
Oof. I enjoyed Recursion and Dark Matter, so I was surprised that I found the prose immediately alienating. After the (very early) precipitating event of the novel, I saw where it was going and found it especially frustrating for the protagonist to “realize” what was happening in a way that felt needlessly drawn out. I don’t think this is a book I’ll try to pick up again.
