Review:Mrs. Cole is a wonderful story teller. Her frighteningly realistic tale had me on pins and needles. Can't wait to read more of the series. I'll gladly miss more sleep so I can enjoy this apocalyptic tale! Read more

Review:There has been enough refinement in recent science fiction to make the concepts of this book obsolete. I have nothing against Phillip K. Dick. Its just that the plot, descriptions of items and people won't make sense to the reader Read more

Review:Philip K. Dick's strength isn't in his prose or his dialogue or his characters. He didn't have the time to write beautifully polished sentences or to explore his protagonists deeply. What he did, and did magnificently, was tap into the wellspring of existential angst which we all possess.
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said does this by having Jason Taverner, world-famous variety show host and singer, wake up in a world where he doesn't exist. No one recognizes him, and there is no record of... Read more

Review:If someone were to ask me which author can consistently grab your attention with the very first sentence of a book, I'd have to say PKD, hands down. It all starts off with a man who is shaking invisible aphids from his body and he's afraid that they're going to eat him. If that's not weird, nothing is, and only PKD would have thought of it. But the bugs, though interesting, are not what this book is about. It is about drugs, and a cop that has to take on the role of a drug-user. The idea is exce... Read more

Review:"The worlds through which Philip Dick's characters move are subject to cancellation or revision without notice," sci-fi great Roger Zelazny once wrote, and it strikes me that Dick's "Ubik" is a perfect example of that statement. The author's 25th science fiction novel since 1955 (!), "Ubik" was originally released as a Doubleday hardcover, with a cover price of $4.50, in May 1969. It finds Dick giving his favorite theme--the mutability of reality--a thorough workout in a wonderfully well-written... Read more

Review:I thought the stories were pretty dated and did not hold up well today. After seeing the Minority Report and Total Recall, these two stories were a bit of a dissapointment. Other authors, such as Asimov, Norton and Heinlein wrote stories that have held up much better over the years. I would not recommend Dick's stories. Read more

Review:I would give this novel 3 1/2 stars. It touches on questions of life, death, religion, human nature, etc. It seemed shorter and felt more like a short story as compared to a novel. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it, however I don't feel it was Dick's best. Read more

Review:Valis is the product of a few things: Dick's 1974 hallucinatory experiences, his belief that whetever the eye sees is reality on some level, and his own zany brand of writing.
The book consists of a mix of autobiography, Dick's Gnostic philosophies, his interpretations of his 1974 experiences, and a fictional story of schizophrenically-projected Horselover Fat (projected by none other than "Phil" who has written himself into the story ala 'Radio Free Albemuth') so it's not really a fictional ...

Review:One of the best science fiction authors. Some of Philip K. Dick's works were made into movies..The Imposter (Gary Sinise ) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ( Titled as Bladerunner with Harrison Ford)
A very good read, exceptional value. Read more
