I've been going through Philip K. Dick's novels recently and I just finished The Man in the High Castle. There were some outstanding individual scenes in the book, but it was very disappointing as a whole. The ending just leaves everything hanging without resolving the plot, and while I guess that's okay for some books, I didn't really think it worked for this one. After reading some of his other stuff, I'm definitely starting to see a pattern in his storytelling approach where he has lots of great individual chapters with some of the best characterization I've ever read, paired with an overall plot that's considerably less entertaining.

perceptual_set posted:There was supposed to be a sequel and in fact it was started but was never finished. I bought The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick which is a collection of essays he wrote about a bunch of different stuff. There are two very short writings on The Man in the High Castle, and it also has the two completed chapters from the sequel. I haven't read them yet, but I'm scared to start just because of my obsessive desire for closure.
