Really great review! I loved this book. The author really was ahead of his time when he wrote this.
there is no doubt he was way ahead of his time, I did love some of the messages but the overall execution didn't do it for me. Do you have any recommendations for more books by Phillip K. Dick?
@@TreeBeardBookReviews That’s the only one I’ve read so far. I do own Electric Dreams, which is a collection of all the stories used in the Amazon series, but I haven’t read them yet. The Amazon series is fun though.
I'll have to check that out, thanks Chas. Also, Great book Haul today!
@@TreeBeardBookReviews thanks so much!
This is one I've wanted to pick up because I love the film... Enjoyed the review :)
its definitely worth the read, I have reflected a lot on the book even after my rating. I wouldnt change my rating but as I said its a short quick read and should be enjoyed for the period piece that it is.
I had read the book five times when the movie came out, and I absolutely hated the movie at first because it contains only about 5 percent of what was in the book. A few years later I had seen the movie enough times to make peace with it, but it bothered me that it was like a comic-book version of the book. I especially loved the section of the book where Rick Deckard ends up working for a month at another police-station that he later figures out is FAKE, that all of the police at the station are Androids. I also loved the crazy religion of Mercerisim, where you can cleanse your soul by watching this messiah get pelted with rocks as he climbs a mountain. ( I kept thinking of Tammy Faye Baker and her husband that were milking religion to make as much money as they could, in real life. )
Review is spot on. Love the movie hate the book . Good job 👍
i liked the book more than the movie. i like the movie but overall has many intentional plot holes, which i dislike. i read it in italian and i found it very entertaining, more than the movie, who left me lost for most part. well, i usually tend to like more the original works/books rather then the movies, but that's me ofc. "Also known as Bladerunner" nope, also known as Do Androids Dream of Eletric Sheep? and that's it. didn't like the adding of that word/role, in the movie. like the fact they changed the timeline. imo, you read the book expecting the movie and the emotions it gave to you, like, idk what did you expect.
aaand you missed the point of the animals. we are talking about mass animal extinction and after a war. how many things nowadays are status symbols that once were common? a lot. which, you know, makes sense.
ofc he's a jerk! he's a bounty hunter, not a charity foundation. the delivery is very similar to noir books and movies, and you know that people can be bad, right? i don't like when ppl are "boo-hoo he's/she's bad, let's cancel them". and it's set in a dystopian universe where everything is covered with dust. also, he cheats on Iran, his wife, but who cares tbh. it's fiction and you acting like Rick was a real person made me loudly laugh. these days people cannot separate fiction from reality and that's plain sad.
"the movie is better than the book" are you kidding me? if it wasn't for the book, your beloved movie wouldn't exist. and the whole dialing emotions, again, are you aware it's a dystopian book?
the religion topic, oh, it's so contemporary since in the USA y'all are OBSESSED with religion/Christianity, so, in desperate situations people can be devoted to a certain religion, since it gives hope and faith, however, the book condems extremism.
Tried to read this last month coincidentally…couldn’t make it past first 31 pages.
Yeah I think I gave it a little longer than I should have. I’ve been told the Audiobook is very good, could always be an option in the future
There's a dude who put together and "animated" audiobook that makes it very palletable
Bro needs to read the book again. There are so many themes and messages that you completely missed. The real and electric animals play an important role in the overall theme of the book. It's in the Title! Think about the title and how it relates to the story!
I agree the movie was much better than the book.
