sci-fi / horror rec: Dark Matter

Was one of the most disappointing books I've read in the last few years.

I absolutely loved the idea/concept of the book, but thought the execution was awful. The characters were poorly developed, had no real reason to care about any of them. the science behind the box was never really developed other than just throwing out some cliches about Schroedinger's cat. Same thing with the drug that allowed the guys to use the box. The book really needed to be a couple hundred pages longer with some more scientific detail to make it somewhat believable.

The best way I can describe this book is to say it is like there is a really really incredible sci-fi story out there, and Blake Crouch's novel was just a quick summary of it. It was almost like I was just reading a hastily thrown together screenplay.
