After reading Crouch's “Dark Matter”, “Recursion” has a very similar feel to it. It explores what could happen if someone had access to reality altering equipment. It pulls the reader through a story full of extreme love and loss. It confronts them with the reality that life is full of suffering and desperation, but also of extreme joy and fulfillment, and it asks them to accept this fully.

As with “Dark Matter”, I found it hard to put this book down. I am a huge sci fi fan, but I would say that you don't have to be to enjoy this book. Crouch is very good explaining very complex science in layman's terms.

Wow. This book is one crazy ride. It constantly throws you through a wide range of emotions and twists. I especially love the pace of the book. I never felt that it was too slow at any point. There were a few points of absolute horror that I loved. Books like these are the reason why I love the Sci-Fi genre so much. It allowed Crouch to explore the most intensely unique scenarios. I will definitely be reading more from this author!
