I think I liked it, not sure I understood it. Will have to do a bit of research. Me very puzzled.

A good read, but I wouldn't put myself through it again. Generally I like K Dick's books for the psychedelic, bizarre concepts. The Man In the High Castle goes in a very different direction, quite literary with a LOT of perspective changes. Not my favourite of his. Compelling but a slough to get through. Reminds me somewhat of Neuromancer with the dense style.
