Reviewers Note: It is the middle of 2025 and I am not doing a good job of keeping up with this desired goal of mine to write book reviews. I do not want to lower my expectations but I am going to so that I can catch up. This will mean short reviews on the books I read.

Recursion by Blake Crouch
329 Pages
This is my second book by Blake Crouch. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Dark Matter. I do not remember the story ever slowing down but I was able to keep pace with the characters and their development.
It is one of those books that has two timelines going on at the same time. Which doesn’t bother me personally but I know a few people who struggle to follow along when an author uses that method. This made the connection between the two main characters happen later in the book than I expected. It all made sense and aligned. I was not able to guess the solution to the problem and so when it was found, I was pleasantly surprised.
I recommend this book for people who breathe. Oh and who love to read. I jest, of course. If you have read Dark Matter, I think you will like this book too.
