The Man in the High Castle (review)
by Philip K. Dick
1962/ 259 pages
rating 9 / classic sci-fi (alternative history)
(This review contains no spoilers – the Notes section does –)
This book is only 250+ pages on my Kindle and PKD’s books and stories are complex and thought-provoking, they are not known for being difficult reads. So I expected an enjoyable little quickie-jiffy – HA! I got involved. I got really involved. I read slowly, taking a lot of breaks, savoring the concept, the themes, the plot and Googling a fair amount for background, context and specifics. I didn’t want it to end so reading took me about a week with a couple other books on the side and ending up with a NOTES page as well.
This was written back in 1962 so it might seem dated to some readers, but to me 50+ years ago makes it a classic and I get a little peek at what the world was like in 1962. >>>>MORE>>>>
