Actually the Audible book Blade Runner is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Plot and story full of holes. Not Philip K Dicks best work. Not his worst either, but close. The Movie actually makes the story a must read. Without the movie, the novel alone is mediocre at best.
Excellent book! Philip K. Dick does not disappoint. It's interesting to read this for the first time after seeing Bladerunner so many times. Very different (though that's OK). Highly recommend reading this book.

I liked the book, but it was a bit more allegorical or moral or something than what I usually enjoy. I felt like there was some big message I was supposed to get out of the book, but I'm not sure what it was--am I suppose to feel bad for androids or not? Is there a god or isn't there? But I enjoyed the read and thought the world was certainly an interesting one.

Since I've been watching and reading a lot of scifis, the plot of this book is just too simple for me. The protagonist seems to get his way too easily and the author didn't put much conflict in the story, making it an easy scifi read. I've also guessed a lot of the things that was going to happen so it doesn't deserve much stars. I still did enjoy it though but I personally think it doesn't have a lot to offer.
