mariechtu 's review for:

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick

2.0

---

this was absolutely not for me
like at all

this book made me so confused all the time

i accually liked the writing style, the mix of narration was quite nice but the plot in itself made no sense for me

i don't think i'm smart enough to understand this
the characters' reflection made me feel like i was reading in a foreign language (which in a sense, i was since english is not my first language but you get what i'm saying)

i understand that this is a classic book, but i'd rather read an entertaining book than a book designed to make me feel confused and dumb all the time

the end was so weird as well, i feel like nothing was resolved

also, i was misled by the summary because i expected this book to be from the pov of the author and it's actually not, which enhanced my confusion (also we only start talking about him from the middle and only meet him and at the end)


anyway, i appreciate this book for its innovation in the dystopy genre, but it's not one i enjoyed
