Certain aspects of the book are interesting, but generally I'm not sure what PKD is doing writing such a mainstream type of story. Did he hope it would bring in some highly needed income? I'm not sure, but it's clear that he does a much better job at science fiction than mainstream fiction.

I did enjoy Jack's character, his delusions and peculiar way of seeing the world, but Fay, for example, was just not as particular as she could have been. While the characters were not bad per se, I do believe he could have developed, fleshed them out and made them more unique.

I'm not sure who, if any, I would recommend this book to.
