Recursion: A Novel

At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery—and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth—and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back. Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy—before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

Wowwwww this book messed with my mind!! I really enjoyed it and liked the ending. Felt a bit redundant towards the middle but such a great read.

“Saint Augustine said it perfectly back in the fourth century: “What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.””

If you’ve been thinking about reading this book after seeing it everywhere.. DO IT NOW! If you think Sci-Fi isn’t your thing.. READ IT ANYWAY! Stepped out of my norm to read this and devoured it! Sci-fi thriller with wonderful imagery that will have you racing through the pages for more. Throughout the entire book, I couldn’t help but think what an incredible movie this would make because I want to see Blake Crouch’s words come to life before my eyes... well, it’s been optioned for Netflix! BUT! READ

5 stars for the first 75-80% of the book, then it really gets drawn out at the end.. the ending was…meh.
