Chciałbym już oficjalnie potwierdzić, że w tym momencie Blake Crouch dołączył do zacnego grona moich ulubionych autorów. Wszystko, co napisałem o "Rekursji", mógłbym równie dobrze przepisać w recenzji tej książki. A że napisałem tam same dobre rzeczy, to sami rozumiecie, że "Mroczna materia" musia...

Łohohoho, chyba właśnie znalazłem nowego ulubionego autora! Chyba nie ma w tej książce żadnego elementu, który by mi się nie podobał. Koncepcja SF, która legła u podstaw fabuły – świetna, pobudzająca wyobraźnię. Wątki osobiste -– przykuwające, poruszające emocje, zmuszające do myślenia "A co ja by...

I think I figured out why Crouch books suck you in so effectively. You always kinda hit the ground running. There's immediately urgency and mystery and it keeps you on that edge, with the stakes raising and game fields changing right up till the very end. I read this all in one night. It grabbed me ...

by Blake Crouch The opening of this story reminds me of the beginning of Nine Princes in Amber, because the Protagonist awakens, lacking memory of who he is, in a forest with light hurting his eyes. He has no wallet or I.D., he's bruised up severely, and his neck hurts a lot. After some not very...

by Blake Crouch I admit I wanted to read this because I enjoyed The Pines so much. Abandon is a ghost town with a mystery; where did everybody go? On Christmas Day 1893, the whole population of the town just disappeared without trace. Scroll ahead to modern day, and a group that includes two par...

WARNING: This review will contain spoilers. Mild ones, epic ones, tiny ones, big ones, and even gigantic ones. This is your one warning. Okay, I might give you another warning before the biggest one, maybe. This book was quite an endeavor for an author to take on, the concept of it is intimida...

Woo boy. Blake Crouch put his foot in this short story. Damn. I loved every part of it and think if he can stick the landing like this in his stand-alone novels he would be a instant buy author for me in the future. "Summer Frost" was wonderfully done from beginning to end. I swear this read like th...

As with everything that Blake Crouch writes, ‘Summer Frost’ is absolutely mind-blowing and is based on a terrifying concept. Set in a future where artificial intelligence becomes so powerful that it threatens humanity, this novella secures my opinion that Crouch is THE master of science fiction. He ...

So at this point I cannot give this one more than three stars. The main reason is that I disliked a good 50 percent of this book. I kept going with it hoping it would pay off, but it took too long to get there. I think dividing up the POVs is what made it confusing. I get why Crouch did it (to make ...

Holy Hell in a time traveling handbasket. This book was all sorts of deep and messy. I feel that I must give fair warning though: this review will most likely have me swimming upstream against the tide of glowing reviews, salmon style... without the spawning of course.... mainly due to the fact that...
