Very close to a perfect P. K. Dick book

Posted : 16 years, 10 months ago on 18 July 2007 01:54 (A review of Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said)

Flow My Tears is one of a few Philip K. Dick books with a coherent fully explored plot all the way to the end. While true to his style of mind bending tales of altered reality, it doesn't veer - like some of his other works - into strange occurrences never to return. Despite the bizarre events of the climax, the story unfolds clearly and the two main characters are oddly likable (oddly for a Dick novel).

While a fan f P.K. Dick's writing style, I have often been dissapointed that ideas with promise often get abandoned half way through for drug-induced paranoia. 'Flow My Tears the Policeman Said' maintains his level of excellent writing and imagination without losing the plot.

A fantastic read by a wonderful author.
