I've still got a few to read myself, this among them.

This is my favourite PKD book, as well as one of my favourite books by any author. So dark and intense. The feeling of paranoia creeps off every page. All the characters are great. The way Bob Arctor slowly loses his way, and sense of reality!

I have also listen to this on unabridged audiobook a few years later. That was awesome! Amazingly narrated. It made the book even better. I am going to watch the movie too, it has some fantastic reviews. You can serach it on youtube.

But in the end, this book is best on paper. Love it.
