earwicker 's review for:
The Man in the High Castle
by Philip K. Dick
This book reminds me of a culinary experiment gone wrong. The ingredients are there, but they don't cohere. The plot lines are cobbled together in haphazard fashion and the characters are thin, with dialogue to match. That said, there are some lovely meta-referential moments where the "Grasshopper" element gazes back upon the novel itself. These moments are done well, but even these are slightly spoiled by the current of paranoia that runs throughout the book. I guess I liked the idea better than the execution.
