jaxguillette 's review for:
The Man in the High Castle
by Philip K. Dick
I read this as the second book in a Philip K Dick kick, and after Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, it was less impressive. Still, though, it's a good environment for questions to thrive. Questions like "Wait, what?" over and over again. Apparently Dick is known for making readers question reality, and that's sort of what's going on by the end here. I didn't get the Cold War angle until embarassingly late in the story (when you find out that in Grasshopper, the US and Britain are fighting over the remnants of WWII), but once I got it things got interesting. Also, I think that the fourth wall might have gotten a little beaten up by the end there. I don't even really know what's going on, but I enjoyed the ride and the subterfuge and all of that.
