Just read Dr. Bloodmoney - interesting

[spacefire]

It seems to me this book is rather alegorical and as un-scifi as it gets. I read a bunch of reviews trying to comprehend it. I confess my previous PKD experience is limited to "The Man in the High Castle", at least I can't remember anything else I read by him.<br />But anyways, the science part in Bloodmoney is rather whack and that makes it unique among post apocalyptic novels, in a way similar to "A Canticle for Leibowitz"<br />Actually, there is at least one motif from ACL that surfaces in Dr. Bloodmoney, but I don't mean to spoil the plots of either book.<br />Anyways, towards the end Dr. Bloodmoney gets weirder and weirder and it crosses into a Lovecraftian nightmare.<br />Pretty cool and very eclectic, but I still struggle to make sense of it all. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

I read Dr. Bloodmoney relatively recently as well and posted my thoughts on it in the 'SciFi Books just read thread.' I quite liked it too, and yes it is really weird in places, but I suppose that is quite typical of Dick's works - burgeoning with odd tangents and interesting ideas. <br /><br />I am currently reading <i>The Penultimate Truth</i> by Dick. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
