Review title: The Ending SUCKED
Product review: This book is strong on character development but weak on alternate history. Please note, the ending was horrible. With the Nazis on the cusp of a nuclear attack on their unsuspecting Japanese aly, Mr. Dick chose to leave us hanging. I acknowledge this novel/alternate history story was written in 1962, a period in which authors attempted to "wow" their readers with sophisticated, nuvo, hanging endings but give me a break. I can envision bohemian hipsters with black cigarette holders dangling from the corner of their lips exclaiming with their best Thirsten Howell, accent, "Philip is the most spectacular writer, darling,...". So come on, ending such a riveting story with a woman walking away from an alternate history aruthor's house is plainly egotistical laziness. I wish I hadn't wasted my time reading the inappropriatley titled "The Man in the High Castle."
