How many times should I write "wow" before proceeding?

Another mind-bender of a soul-stirrer my biblio-buds are green with envy I've already been able to savor, one I'll be talking about (and up) until (and after) pub date with friends and library patrons alike. (Or: all those people to whom I've handed Dark Matter.) Compelling characters, accessible science, and universe-building that makes it easy to understand how Hollywood's already scooped up the book and making big plans for it. Bravo.

What would you give to relieve the happiest moments of your life? Neuroscientist Helena Smith is working on a project to allow people to do just that, but something goes terribly wrong. People everywhere are waking up to memories of a life they never lived. Called False Memory Syndrome, it’s causing mayhem. After Barry witnesses a woman create suicide after saying her son had been erased, he becomes determined to find out what’s causing the bizarre disorder. I think Crouch has got one of the most unbelievable imaginations in the world. In every book he concocts a story line so bizarre, so cunning that I am always taken by surprise

I was a little concerned at how excited I was for this. I loved Dark Matter, Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town, and was worried I was going to be let down by this one.

But it was AMAZING. I think I liked it more than Dark Matter. There was action, excitement, love, and moments where I gasped out loud. I will definitely be buying this once it is out.

I’ve read a few of this authors books, though I gave up on the Wayward Pines trilogy (too long and drawn out) and Dark Matter (confusing jumble of a mess), this story grabbed and held my attention. Though a bit confusing in the last half, the action and the charachterizations thoroughly held my attention. Though the idea and storyline has been done many times before. Kind of a cross between Connie Willis’ “Doomsday Book”, “Groundhog Day” and Robert J. Sawyers “Flashforward”. The story is not especially about time travel but reliving your memories and trying to restructure and change lives by doing so. Lots of suspense and if the reader is willing to suspend their belief, a fast moving and interesting story.
Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to preview this book.
