Title: Lousy (But Still PKD)
Product review: In my continuing effort to read all of Dick's work, I picked up the finally-reprinted Our Friends from Frolix 8 this week. What a disappointment!I really like Dick's writing, and I have even enjoyed some of his less than stellar novels, like The Zap Gun or Clans of the Alphane Moon. This one, though, just doesn't do much for me. It's got a decent premise and some decent (but predictably Dickian) characters, but it just doesn't pull it all together and produce.The climax was too long in coming and, once it came, was a let down. For the most part, I'm just glad to have finished it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
