Reader reviews for Recursion: A Novel

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.20 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.20 / 5 (990 total reviews)

Readers praised Recursion for its high?concept, memory?driven take on time travel and its propulsive pacing. Many found the complexity manageable and the book highly readable, while others said the latter sections become repetitive and punishingly grim. The writing and structure were often described as cinematic, with clear, digestible science, but dialogue and characterization drew frequent criticism, and the central romance felt underdeveloped. Opinions split on the ending—some viewed it as powerful, others as a cop?out—and on how it compares to Dark Matter. Overall, it’s seen as an engaging, idea?first thriller whose science stretches plausibility but whose reflections on memory, loss, and choice resonate.

From the publisher

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.
