When I started reading this I thought I'd get used to the characters obsession with animals, but even now I've reached the end, I still can't quite understand what it is that drives this deep-seated obsession. A lot of animals are extinct, most are extremely rare and there's a certain primitive pres...
What a crazy book. Really really liked it, though. Strange to see the ideas that were lifted for the movie, and what was left behind. One of the few instances where both the movie and the book deserve a 5 star rating.Also the only book I ever plan on reading that made me feel sorry for a spider. :(
PKD is proving to be one of my favorite authors. Not that I've even read much of his stuff, I still have many of his major works to tackle, but what I've read from him so far has left me impressed. I needn't dwell on the novel's synopsis (see the Goodreads page, Wikipedia, or the back of the book fo...
Just as in Blade Runner, the movie this book inspired, the line between human and machine becomes increasingly fuzzy for bounty hunter Rick Deckard, who has the job of hunting down and “retiring” rogue androids. After a nuclear war all but destroyed life on Earth, the humans who didn’t flee to off-p...
2 1/2? I liked it, but not all that much. I loved the strangeness. I did not like the characters. I loved how supremely weird things are in this world, but the world makes no sense (you know, the parts that should). This has flashes of absolutely genius followed by flashes of complete confusio...
In today's world, full of must-have (not for me though) gadgets and other electric appliances that might be as well alive - considering the way we tend to behave with them - this novel was really curious and enlightening read. What it means to be human - yes, really good question when you have andro...
A good book. It has an almost dreamlike quality to the writing.It is a noir with a subtle comedic element to it. It is not much like the movie adaptation; Blade Runner. I don't think it was a mistake for the filmmakers to depart from the book so much, because I think that it would have made a poor...
I liked that the story it is not a 'who-dun-it' mystery. In fact, there isn't much to figure out at all. Deckard has everything planned out and it is just a matter of him getting from point A to B to accomplish it.This is a story that is focused more on philosophical questions regarding artificial i...
