bigturtle540 's review for:

4.0

Very rarely do I read the same author back to back. However, after A Scanner Darkly I needed to read some more PKD. This deals with similar themes of addiction, perception, and paranoia as the other PKD novels I have read. Something that I like is Dick’s ability to create so many dystopian settings that are unique from one another.

Funny enough I felt like this book was perhaps the most cinematic of the PKD books that aI have read. Palmer Eldritch was an enigmatic character whose presence is felt each time he appears (in whatever form that may be). This was very close to a 5 star book for me if I could rate it 4.5 I would.
