Solid review Benjamin! I broke my TBR to read this book because I saw your video pop up. I actually liked the set up in the first half and felt that the exploring the multiverse was a little played out for the suspense and I just wanted Jason1 to be back with his family. Something I thought was silly was that Jason basically created a Reddit thread to speak to himself?? I know I get it, infinite universes infinite possibilities. But for him to think to do that (and actually have the means to do that) I thought was a little unbelievable. Anyway great video!
Wow that's so awesome! Thanks so much! I agreed with the chat room thing, the idea of it just exisiting, and the password being what he would guess. The last act didn't land super well I think on reflection. I definitely wanted him to get back to his family, but I adored when a book drags out that tension and dread :D so I could of done with at least a few more multiverses.
Great review…and multiverse effects! 😂 I think a person’s expectations of a book play a big role in their enjoyment of it. And that can go both ways. I almost prefer not knowing anything about a book going in, so I have a low bar. I’m looking forward to the TV show!
I agree, I have read a few books that I think if I'd gone into it blind I would of enjoyed it so much more. Thanks so much for watching and your kind words :)
Great review.😊 I do see that some times the books that gets popular in the book community is not always that mind blowing. I have heard mixed reviews of this one.
I did like this book, atleast enough to buy a kindle version after i read it from the library. I do like Blake Crouch's books, but definitally Recursion > Wayward Pines > Dark Matter > Upgrade. I found the end of the story meh, but i guess after that set up i can't think of anything better. I hope the show is good! Fingers crossed.
I do have the first book of the Wayward Pines trilogy, so I should get to that one this year maybe. I had heard Recursion was good as well, I enjoyed this one enough to definitely check out his other books! The last act was probably the weakest of the book, but I thought it was still fairly well done, just not earth shatteringly good.
Phew, I was a bit worried that I might be on my own with that one. One of the unfortunate side effects of reviews and booktube, books sometimes get overhyped and then can never live up to that.

Nice review
Thank you for watching!
I read this one over a year ago, it was nice, but not as good as some booktubers made it out to be. Good review!
Thanks so much for watching! I agree, fun book but not world changing like some seem to make it out to be.
i'd love to see you review the first episodes at least
I might do that :)
I agree with you on all your points here. Fun book, but in no way as good as some say. 👍
