Dare to Know

For what is supposed to be a Sci-Fi Thriller, Dare to Know was underwhelming...for me anyway.

I really loved the idea of this one and was hoping for more on the “when you die” scenario. Instead that is more background noise and what we get is really the life of the narrator as he learns the algorithm that will help him pinpoint when people die, and begins to utilize it. We also get glimpses into that narrator's life, both past and present, told in jumping around flashbacks.

This is not thrilling in the sense that you are on the edge of your seat or are in a rush to pick this up and keep going. This is a slow read, packed to the brim with scientific jargon and a lot of time spent inside the narrator's head. The ending was the best part for me.

While I did enjoy this one, I didn't fully love it. I would say this is more for those who love a slower type Sci-Fi that has a lot of thinking behind the story.

I sincerely appreciate Quirk Books for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
