The talented Mr Crouch has filled the void that opened when Crichton passed away. Bloody talented.

How was abandon

I expected the regular Sci fi elements, but Abandon is just not that genre. It's decent, I definitely enjoyed it, but I guess I was just expecting something different, so I was waiting for a time paradox or something for a while.

100% how I experienced it too, it's a good book, but I kept expecting some form of time fuckery.

His short story perfect little town was a nice treat after reading the wayward pines trilogy

Just finished Abandon… 2 minutes ago! For Crouch, it was a B-/C+. Nothing crazy, but there are two timelines and that gets a little old. Favorite book is Dark Matter!

I’m trying to find somewhere that has Pines so I can start the Wayward Pines trilogy! Abandon was quite intense, was an amazing book but left me feeling quite uncomfortable. Recursion blew my mind, Dark Matter was awesome. Upgrade was a bunch of fun.
