Review title: The worst of PK Dick
Product review: I've read more than a dozen of Dick's novels and this one is by far the worst I've encountered. As in too many Dick novels, the main character is an idealized (but still highly annoying) projection of Dick's own personality. The main female character is as empty as any adolescent male fantasy. The writing is horrible, full of awkward and improbable turns of phrase - usually made while Dick was attempting to show off his rather blue-haired erudition. The plot is a lame attempt to grapple with a juvenile theological question. The narration in general is full of contradictions and abrupt shifts of tone and character presentation. And the flaws just keep on coming.In short, Galactic Pot Healer is a compendium of the worst aspects of Dick's writing, storytelling and ideology. Strangely, the one that followed it, Ubik, was one of his best. Dick was unpredictable in that way.
