Yeah, I really enjoyed this book but I think everything you say is correct. It's just a fun fast-moving thriller with a cool sci-fi concept around it, with very little deep philosophy or characterization. A fun read if you like thrillers.

The part of the book where Jason was freely interacting with the plague infected version of his wife had me almost tearing my hair out. I for sure thought the twist was going to be that he ended up spreading the plague to his own world due to his stupidity and (ironically) ends up killing his own family. But nope. Apparently this highly infectious super virus that makes you bleeds from your eyes just didn't infect him for some reason?

I was not a fan. It started with the hero spending way too many pages being confused about what was happening. Midway, I thought we were going to go on a Sliders type adventure exploring different possibilities, but that lasted only 3 pages. And the ending seemed like a random thought that was amusing, but not how that should have played out.

I had serious issues with this book, but what's really interesting to me is that they're mostly different. When we discovered the twist of the Jasons showing up, that was the first time I thought, "well this is cool! I haven't seen this before!" I could rant but I think all my issues boil down to the book treating Jason's wife as a McGuffin. Everyone wants her; we never really get to know her. And the book doesn't care really about her either, as long as Jason wants her.

He could never see the bigger picture because he was so invested in his own little story.

Even if he had some realizations, the story did not properly show why he felt this way and the other clones could not.

It’s especially irritating if the author thinks their protagonist is smart

It would have been an interesting story beat if he had skipped to a few universes before realizing he was infected and he has to deal with the guilt of wiping out billions of people in each place he had been.

Parts of the plot you described reminded me a lot of the tv show Sliders, but worse. They had an episode where they end up on a planet with its own "super" pandemic, but I think it worked better because: the main characters didn't chose the destination, and they didn't immediately understand what was going on... so naturally they all started getting sick. Then; they were forced to come up with a cure before they were forced to Slide into a different universe and potentially infect & destroy that world. If you're not going to properly deal with the ramifications of your character visiting a world with a pandemic / plague or whatever... then just don't. Sounds like it could have just been a world where Jason's wife was suffering from a incurable illness that took that universes Jason. Just force Prime Jason to observe from the other side the glass at a hospital... and you got all the main-character-suffering ya want without any dumb decisions being made.

It's the most frustrating part of his books, like it's always the family man thrown into a whacky/extinction level event and the family has no effect on the plot whatsoever. They are ways for the male lead to self actualise in like a oh my god he's literally me way. And for someone who doesn't care that much about romance, like I can stomach romance sub plots but they're so dry it annoys me. They serve their purpose as a way to give the reader some down time but there are better ways.

I’m glad you mentioned the insanity thing because that also drives me crazy. That is absolutely not the definition of insanity lol.

does jason 1 not understand that sleeping with universe 2 version of his wife is also not his wife and functionally the same as sleeping with someone else like amanda

I gave it 2 stars on Goodreads when I read it back in 2019. I agree fully with this review. In my review: "This book is like one long episode of the 90's TV show Sliders. It was clearly written with adaptation in mind--the protagonist is a cookie-cutter hero archetype (he's a genius! But also a great dad/family man!). The entire first half of the book is simply waiting for the protagonist to realize something you figured out in Chapter 1. And again, a lot of the plot of this book seems to be waiting for the protagonist to make inevitable decisions."

The multiverse schtick became so old so fast imo

Didn't mention the weird Hell tortured Jason that randomly walks through

I really want a book to be like "you know what the definition of insanity is?" and just follow up with an actual definition

I just remember thinking, "What kind of magic hoo-hah does Jason's wife have?" Dude barely even thought about his kid.

Thank you for reviewing this one! I've been sitting on it for so long because everyone I know loves this book, and I felt so icky when reading it. The obsession of Jason and all his alter egos with that poor woman was repulsive, and I could barely finish the book. I assume that my expression while reading it seesawed between bemusement and disgust.

So I gotta admit, I was excited about this because I assumed you were talking about Syfy's "Dark Matter", the show, which was a cool Scifi show based on a somewhat original concept, but I just learned that this is a book, and the Apple series is completely unrelated and based on Blake's book, not the comic book that Syfy's Dark Matter was based on. That's REALLY confusing.

Wait they adapted Dark Matter? Pardon me

Dark Matter is good for those who are completely new to reading and to sci fi as a genre. It's much too dumbed down if you are already familiar with the genre. I personally found it a pale imitation of And Then There Were N-1 by Sarah Pinsker, which has the advantage of being shorter, not dumbing things down, and also free on Escape Pod.

I have been waiting to hear from someone who disliked this book as much as I did (and I usually love sci-fi). Thank you.

Ranting Daniel is fun. Even though I was there as this video was edited, I had to listen to this all again.

I definitely didn't understand the hype of this book, it felt very disjointed, and the main character as you said made some bizarre choices. I found myself saying many times "why would you do that?"...I didn't get it. To those that like it great...it was just "ok" for me.

I thought I was the only person who hated this book, so good to know that’s not true 😂

It sounds like a novel plotted and written by an author smokin' pot while watchin' "Rick and Morty"! lol

I DNF'd this book in January so I'm glad to know both how it ends and be validated in my choice to move on to something better 🤣

A good plot twist would be that Jason couldn't kill his alternate self because if he did then he and the other versions of himself would also disappear. Make it a rule that he could only die by natural means and that becomes a huge delima for 1st Jason who was displaced. Also, there should have been rules for interaction at some point - like what could he not do because it would upset the balance of the space-time continuum.

Dark Matter is a book that's more about the concepts and characters, but don't look too close at the details.

I spent the last few years since reading this books thinking I read a differente book from everyone else because I hated it and everyone else seems to love it. I'll admit, a big reason I didn't like it was because this is 80% thriller and 20% sci-fi and I don't like thrillers. But even the sci-fi part comes off as dumb. Maybe in a different story I would have enjoyed it more. And I agree with you. The characters are terrible. They don't make good decisions and are incredibly unlikable.

Totally with you on the plague universe. Generally though I am pretty good about just turning my brain off when reading/watching this kind story so I had a lot of fun with it. The chat room actually made me laugh when it happened, but it just added to the fun for me.

I hated recursion by the same author, and I’m always amazed by how much other people love it. The thin veneer of “science” he uses right the beginning of his story, just to throw it all out and make it all basically nonsense by the end, is incredibly frustrating. It sounds like it’s the same with Dark Matter. Completely agree on the “tonal clash” between the nonsense, cartoonish science and the plot being played up as “serious” or “realistic”. How are we supposed to take the science seriously when the author clearly didn’t care enough to worry about its internal consistency?

I liked the face-off premise and I liked the idea that multiple slightly different dimensions would lead to a confederacy of Jasons all trying for the same goal. But the execution of those and all the things in between were done poorly enough to cause frustration. Wayward Pines was similar.

I just had a breakup when I read this book, so I really loved the obsessiveness and love for his wife; and I think these dumb decisions were overlooked for that reason because I was rooting for Jason too much. But NOWWW, that you have pointed it out, I am laughing so loud in my room. XD Stupid Stupid Jason.

5:00 “it’s a don’t read it out of ten for me”. Harsh. I wish you told us how you really felt. 😅

I love this book. It touched on some relatable topics for me and multiverse/time travel stories are my favorite. But that really had to be worst ending in anything I've ever read ever. When I say I love this book I'm really just talking about the first 75%, the other 25% does not exist and cannot hurt me

Personally, alternate Daniela frustrated the heck out of me. WHY would you sleep with Jason while he's in that state? Let's put aside the cheating... like he's a wreck whose sanity you'd definitely be questioning??? And there's no exploration of her (or Amanda's) character. It felt very much like, "how to write WOMAN."

I gave it a decent rating cause it was quick and made me nostalgic for Sliders (I'm old!), so I brushed off a lot of dumb stuff. But you're 100% right on every point.

I agree! Liked the start and by the end was like "ok, no more Crouch for me".. Huge parts didn´t work for me.

"I'm always jealous of people who like things that I dislike, because I had to spend time reading it" I relate to this so hard having just finished Atlas Complex yesterday.

I’m on episode eight of the Apple + show, and I’m impressed by the changes that have been made so far. Amanda stays in the utopian world, the pandemic is explained as a non-airborne virus (Jason hands his wife the morphine instead of injecting her himself) evil Jason makes some more intelligent decisions, essentially Blake Crouch made improvements to the show to clarify or rewrite elements that were questionable in the book. As for multiple Jasons, they went from hundreds to maybe a dozen. Plus there’s a follow up on some of the other travelers as well.

Never read Dark Matter but when I saw it was from the same guy who wrote Wayward Pines I knew it'd be bad. Wayward Pines was the worst written published novel I've ever seen and the entire plot behind it made no sense. Every other "sentence" is a sentence fragment, making it the most frustrating thing to read in the world, and the author has no understanding of the science he uses to explain how the world got the way it is. He claims it was inspired by Twin Peaks but clearly doesn't understand what makes Twin Peaks good. Instead it feels like a Shyamalan movie wannabe. And I cannot stress enough how the plot makes no sense even IF you ignore the fact that the setting depends on a complete misunderstanding of how biology and evolution work.

Appreciate your reviews, helps me a lot 🙂 Good work Daniel!

I also didn't really like this book and thought Jason made incredibly stupid decisions for a "smart" guy. One of the dumbest decisions in the book was when they walked out into the deathly frigid world with normal clothes and exactly zero plan; at some point they just turn around and realize they have no idea how to get back to the box. How could you possibly be any dumber?

Thrillers like this book have a timer on them for how much I'll like them. Unless I finish the book in 2-3 days and I don't really take time to think about the weaknesses of the book, I tend to enjoy them like I did with this book.

This just sounds like a dumber version of that Jet Li movie.

I like the Blake Crouch books I’ve read, but it does seem very much like they are all written to be adapted into movies / shows. It’s a different type of read for me.

Just starting the video now but I was sorely disappointed by Dark Matter. Gave it a 3/5. The main character is supposed to be one of the brightest minds but he's so helpless.
