The question above this section is: What did you think? The truth is, I'm not sure what I think. Philip K. Dick wrote novels that you have to think about, have to ponder. There are very few easy answers in one of his novels. I have read that it's more ...more

While I've read some of the Leaphorn and Chee series, I'm not far enough along for this to be my next read. But my local book club is reading it, so here we are. As usual, I really enjoyed the writing, and the characters are interesting and real. The ...more

Another great read in the Hardman series. Every time you pick up a Hardman book, it's like hanging out with old friends again. Maybe friends you wouldn't want to hang out with all the time--they'd land you in far too much trouble--but it is certainly ...more

A quick (and dirty read). But dirt in all the right places. All of Phillip's narrators (or at least in the books I read) aren't anti-heroes. They are not heroes in any sense of the world, completely oblivious to their own depravity. But, despite this ...more

For the first few chapters, I wasn't sure that I was going to finish the book. But then, the story kicked in, and I found myself getting lost in it. A really good book. Not a dystopian novel, by any means, but not one with a trite happy ending either ...more
