shanehawk 's review for:

Clans of the Alphane Moon by Philip K. Dick
4.0

We listened to the audiobook on the way home from Mammoth Lakes. The narrator performed well.

PKD showed his humorous side here more than other novels of his I’ve read. His main point was that everyone is mentally ill and that it can be measured by minuscule degrees. The protagonist’s rocky marriage and looming divorce mirror that of his real life. The mental illness theme of the book also mirrored that of his real life when he spent time in a hospital for schizophrenia.

My favorite character by far was the slime mold ;)
