Different than all the others...
Blake Crouch is usually a very dark author (which I love). Dark Matter had moments where his grim intensity shown through, but most of this novel was an exercise in theoretical physics, philosophy, and morality. I loved it. One of Crouch's best by far. There were parts that tended to drag in the beginning, but most of it was so enthralling, I couldn't put it down. I would even wake up my husband to talk physics with him much to his chagrin. Definitely worth the read.
Aside from the Harry Potter series, I usually don't reread books, but Abandon is definitely worth reading over and over again.
A great thriller with such a fabulous setting. Crouch's research into the area's history (which is sprinkled throughout his fictional storyline) makes this story one of a kind.
Adored This - Finished in a day
Fast moving plot, likable characters, and more than a few surprises along the way. I could not put it down.
Interesting world building, strong female lead, but the male lead felt pale by comparison. Glad I read it, but I don't I'll read the others in the series.
