This book takes a very abstract subject and, through great examples and engaging writing, makes it come alive. I learned a lot from it.

I've never read a book that more convincingly took a dreamlike premise and made it work so powerfully. If there was a book which encapsulated the experience of being in a nightmare you can't wake up from, this would be it. Very, very good.

I love this book; this and Ubik are my favorite PKD books, and I'm nearly a completist.
Dick takes an idea which is becoming commonplace - multiple universes - but pioneers it and give it his own unique spin. Essentially, the people in the book are living a post WWII tragedy, where the bad guys won - and to them, our universe is the good one, they'd much rather be in. From this premise PKD weaves in multiple characters and storylines from when he was essentially at the top of his game. Excellent book.

This is a great selection of fantasy stories. The best one was the Conan story imho, the Tower of the Elephant, strong enough that it motivated me to a buy a volume of Robert E. Howard's stories too. However all of them were good. Recommended.
A great selection of fantasy stories. It really does have that roguelike feel. Recommended.

I enjoyed this book: a milieu that you don't often see, beautifully inhabited by the characters of the book.
