4.5 to 5.0 stars. I just reread this book (March 15 2010) and had to bump it up a star from the last time I read it back in 2002. This is a complex, multi-layered plot that, in the end, is a study on the nature of reality and how people's perceptions of that reality can change it. This is the best of Dick's novels that I have read. One of the standard bearers of alterntive history science fiction. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!

To anyone else thinking of reading it for the same reason—don't. There are no answers here, and you will only end up dissatisfied.

I really don't remember much about this book. I remember the plot and when I read it. It's on my "To re-read" list.

An OK alternate history. Reading Dick is like taking a strange trip on drugs.
