Book Review: Ubik

I'm not about to dig for my old reviews of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and The Penultimate Truth. Just know that in my experience, Philip K. Dick tends to get off to a good start, but when it's not a short story, he seems to lose interest by the third act. He also has a tendency toward sci-fi so soft that you might as well call it fantasy, at least by, again, the third act.

( Cut for length )

I can see why Michel Gondry took interest, but I think I'll avoid reading Dick from now on. For something completely different, I've taken my mom's suggestion of Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Effect. Having liked the first volume, I'm counting on it.
