Recursion by Blake Crouch Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory—his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date, and the inspiration for Shondaland’s upcoming Netflix film.

“Gloriously twisting . . . a heady campfire tale of a novel.”—The New York Times Book Review

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • BookRiot

Reality is broken.
 
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.

Mind-numbing!. Good grief. I can’t believe people think this is a great novel. I found it boring and depressing.

So good.. Fantastic. One of the best stories (‘sci-fi’ or otherwise) that I’ve read in a long, long time.

Starts out good then goes nowhere. This started out with a great idea, and like a lot of his stories, just went nowhere. It’s almost like he doesn’t know how to finish anything once he has a good idea. Definitely was extremely painful listening for the last half of this book.

Obsessed. This is the first book in the past 5 years I’ve been obsessed with. Every page matters and I couldn’t put it down. Wonderfully written! Exudes sentiment and suspense. Books like this make me very happy that I’m not illiterate.

Incredibly intelligent and great story telling. So I read dark matter last year and absolutely loved it. I had very high expectations for this book, and it’s very much the same, but very different, and another incredible book. I read it all in one sitting on a road trip and it kept me hooked the entire time. From the experimental science to the action, to the romance, it’s a great story from top to bottom that really unfolds throughout. Wrapped it up really well too. Way impressed, Blake Croutch is up there as one of my favorite authors.

Good sci-fi. Much like the butterfly effect, really good. He’s a great writer, it was a little slow a few times but well worth the read. If your not into sci-fi novels or movies this is in the book for you lol

Page Turner!. This book was one of those kinds that you just couldn’t put down after reading one page. You get lost in this incredible story and Crouch’s language makes you feel like you’re in it. Would recommend

Highly original, thought provoking. What if you could manipulate reality, and accidentally ended the world? How could you fix things? Excellent storytelling with three dimensional characters. Very readable prose, highly descriptive writing.

Best Book of 2019!!!. First review here! Blake Crouch completely blew my mind in the best possible way! During the second half the story went all over the place! A strong recommend for fans of the technothrillers of Michael Crichton. Hands down the best book of 2019!

Recursion awesomeness. Awesome book keeps bringing you back, LITERALY!!! Recommend a must read.

Recursion. Really clever.

Should have stopped sooner than I did.. It started out OK but my nose was bleeding by the end. Actually I didn’t make it to the end which I usually force myself to do. Just couldn’t. There are much better, tighter reads out there.

I wish I never read this. I loved Dark Matter by Blake Crouch so I thought I would love this too but wow not only was this book so dark and disturbing but it wasn’t even satisfying to read. The beginning was confusing and slow and the middle was so over the top that it was mind numbing and upsetting. I would have stopped reading but I needed to have closure or I would have infinite nightmares but the ending was just out of nowhere and seemed fake and was not satisfying at all but yet still upsetting. That being said I did read this quite quickly but I think I just did it to get it over with.

Preposterous and repetitive. My brain hurts trying to follow the logic.

Recursion. Great imagination. However, the story gets stalled with the replaying of the plot. Too many returns to the memory loop...

Perfect. Something about Recursion grabbed me in a way that no other science fiction title has. It is without a doubt my favorite title in the genre, and I look forward to reading it again.

Can’t follow. I have no idea what’s going on. How does modifying someone’s memories allow for universal time travel? Impossible to follow.

Fun and nerve-wracking. Nice thriller. Sped by like a screenplay.

Great!. Refreshing, intriguing take on time travel and the constructs of reality! Has an effect similar to the movie Butterfly Effect!!!

Great read. Love the science in tis book. Part fact mostly fiction. Enjoyed the characters and all the action as well.

Good not great. I was hooked at first and still love this book however the ending just felt a little rushed and lacking. Not that it needs tied up with a bow I understand leaving things to the imagination, but after chapters of endless possibilities it just felt like I needed a little more

Fantastic. So good. I read it twice. The second time through my nose bled.

This will consume your life until you finish reading the book.. You will take this with you everywhere you go just to read another page, another chapter. You will go to sleep later and wake earlier just to read more. You were warned.

Worth the time. Amazing plot. Fiction that is not too unrealistic. Did not want to put the book down.

Engaging. Once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down.

Fascinating. I’m only halfway through, and I can already tell this is the most interesting story I’ve ever read.

Read it. The reviews are all correct, I’m immediately going to read this again. Best book I’ve ever read.

Yes!. Read it. Then read it again.

Wow. I can’t remember the last time a novel kept me up at night the way this one did; not merely in the page-turning sense, but with a deep, and almost pleasantly unsettling sense of wonder.

Amazing. Read in paper back, reread in my phone. Even better a second time!

Heck of a ride. Fast pace yet even though the story is complex it is easy to follow. I like that it is not overburdened with characters or many parallel stories. Of course the physics are beyond us but it works. The romance is also nice. I could have read it in one sitting but it got late.

Fantastic !. Best book I’ve read in a while. The concept is fascinating and the story is prefect. 10/10.
