Recursion, Blake Crouch (3.5)
Blake Crouch consistently blows my mind. In ‘Dark Matter’, that was a great thing, in this book it was not as good. He gets full marks for creativity and his writing is generally excellent. The fault I found here is the same as what drives my intolerance for the movie, ‘Ground Hog Day’, I find repeated timelines can be boring. His multiple timelines in ‘Dark Matter’ were like multiple existences, here it is more about changing memories by traveling back in time. I did like the social and personal issues brought up with these concepts, but I was bored and depressed though much of the book.
