Dr. Bloodmoney by Philip K. Dick
3.0
This is my third Philip K. Dick novel. I know he is a Master of the Sci-Fi genre, but I just did not find the two books I read, [b:The Man in the High Castle|216363|The Man in the High Castle|Philip K.

There was a twist in who was actually the protagonist and antagonist of the book, and at the end, I'm not really sure there were any true protagonists.
On the negatives, there is a fair amount of racism and sexism. I know it was a reflection of the times the book was written, but to be honest, after reading about 50 books from many of the grand masters of the genre written in the 50's and the 60's, it's starting to get old real fast.
All and all I have not completely written off Mr. Dick, it will be on to [b:Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?|7082|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?|Philip K. Dick|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1435458683s/7082.jpg|830939]
