Book Review: Recursion by: Blake Crouch

I picked up this book based on my fondness for Blake Crouch’s writing. I’m a fan. He has an impressive catalog of novels, short stories, and screenplays so I was not surprised to find his latest novel, Recursion, a solid read. I give it five out of five stars because I was thinking about the ideas the book evoked when I wasn’t reading it. I had a hard time putting it down and couldn’t wait to pick it back up. Plus parts of the book I found very moving.

The narrative begins omnipresent and moves in on each protagonist to where it feels almost like reading first person. Crouch’s clean style allows his character narrative expositions to cut with a sometimes beautiful and sometimes brutal honesty. This made the science fiction elements very relatable for me.

This is one of the most interesting time travel books I have ever read. I enjoyed the scientific hypothesis at play. Current physics and the understanding of the human brain were mingled in without overwhelming the narrative in scientific jargon.

In my opinion, if you like science fiction time travel you’ll enjoy this. If you’re a fan of Crouch, read this already because it will not disappoint you.

I received a review copy of this book through Netgally in exchange for an honest review. You can find out more about the author Blake Crouch and his other works on his website: www.blakecrouch.com, find him on Twitter- @blakecrouch1, or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blakecrouchauthor
