Rezension von BesiNach meiner John Marrs-Phase (an dieser Stelle danke für die Empfehlung damals, @Pia und Jannis!) hatte ich mal wieder richtig Lust auf was mit hohem Tempo. Dark Matter liefert genau das: Einen absoluten Pageturner, der aber durch seine Prämisse auch überzeugt. Die zentrale Frage hat mich total gepackt: Sind wir mit den Abzweigungen in unserer Biografie wirklich glücklich? Und was würde aus uns werden, wenn wir sie verändern könnten? Zum Ende wirkte es zwar stellenweise etwas hastig, um der aufgespannten emotionalen Ebene voll gerecht zu werden, aber das hat die Gesamterfahrung für mich überhaupt nicht kaputtgemacht. Ein wilder, spannender Ritt durchs Multiversum. jetzt lese ich erstmal wieder eine ruhige coming of age geschichte..
Rezension von Peggy Payne WOW. Just... wtf did I just read!? I read this book today. It only took 4 hours and 20 minutes. This is because from the very beginning, it sucked me in and didn't let go! Are you happy with your life? Would you still make all the same choices you've ever made? Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you had made different decisions along the way? This book is a sci-fi thriller roller-coaster that is filled to the brim with insane twists and turns. Talk about a mind-bender!

Rezension von Jasmin WernerI‘m obsessed with the idea of alternate realities so this fed right into it. It made me go down a spiral of what ifs. I can see myself rereading it.
Rezension von Florenz HeldermannKurz: Ganz dolle super viel cleveres WTF-Wow-"Ne, jetzt echt?" Lang: Keine Reviews, sondern das Buch lesen. Je weniger man weiss desto besser.
