What Members Thought
This book had a lot of potential, but I felt it fell short of my expectations somewhat. Like all Phillip K. Dick's books, it was thought provoking and perfectly captured 'realism in unrealism': that is, characters who are very human, despite being present in a world foreign to our own.

Después de leer el libro, solo me queda la sensación de que todos perdimos después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, no existe un verdadero ganador y aunque la historia fuera diferente las personas estaríamos con los mismos conflictos existenciales.
I really wanted to like this more than I did. For most of the book I just wasn't really invested in any of the characters. The story also didn't feel very cohesive. Some of the writing is fantastic though (like the part where Tagomi is having his existential crisis), but the overall book didn't come together for me. It also just sort of felt like the book ended without resolution - like someone called "Time!" and PKD had to hand over his manuscript right then.
