softboy69 's review for:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

3.0

I remember liking Blade Runner but kinda being bored. This is so different from the movie I feel like it was based on one scene in the book. That being said I enjoyed the book but really just not something I expected. Parts were pretty goofy like buying a goat for it to get killed almost immediately. And I am glad that there were more layers to the book other than killing androids. A God-Complex and understanding empathy for non-human entities is explored in the book, although I don’t find the main character very likable, or very interesting. But the ideas conveyed through him piqued my interest especially near the end with the whole religious awakening. Overall, it was fun and had some cool ideas but it was also felt a little bit unorganized. I find it even more interesting how Ridley Scott interpreted this book to create his cyberpunk-y classic.
