This was a re-read for me in anticipation of watching the series on Amazon. Dick is one of my favorite authors and there are many of his stories I have read and re-read many times.

I got this book because I watched the series on Amazon. Frankly, the TV series was much better than the book--and that's 180 degrees from normal.

Dick that was dull and lackluster. It gets two stars simply because it was at least readable, unlike some other books I've started and abandoned lately.
