The book has a lot of interesting concepts, especially some that didn’t make it into the movie at all, like the religion Mercerism and the whole electric animals thing. 

But there were so many things I didn’t enjoy, most importantly the protagonist. We are obviously supposed to symphasize with him, which is just not possible.

I'm happy that I read this because it is one of the foundational texts of my favorite genre. And also the foundational text of one of my favorite movies. But Blade Runner managed to take what was good out of this story and make it great while leaving behind what didn't work. And there was some weird stuff in here that did not work for me. Especially egregious was how Rachel was written about and described. Really not on board with the misogyny of the early sci-fi world. Happy I finally ticked this off my list so that I never have to read it again.
