That Philip K. can be such a...
Nearly 6 months ago, I ranted about Philip K. Dick's The Penultimate Truth. Those with time on their hands can review it complete with spoilers here. I thank chirpasee for adding his (?) observation that Dick's books tend to enter a "wrap-up mode" a ways from the end that suggests the author has gotten bored with his own story. Unfortunately, I neglected chirpasee's warning that Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, while better, isn't exceptionally strong from start to finish. I'm not sorry I read it, but that advice would have been good to keep in mind.
