Philip K. Dick
About this listen
Now an Amazon Original series
Winner of the Hugo Award
"The single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dick's career." --New York Times
It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.
This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it, Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to wake.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

Amazing book, amazing voice acting and accents.
I don’t understand the ending though, is it a fourth wall break or something? Makes no sense to me.

Not Dick's best
Fantastic narration, but I found the narrative thread easy to lose. Too many subplots I didn't care about at all, and a lot of dialogue was simply bad.
Maybe I just didn't get it, but overall, not Dick's strongest work.

A Philosophical Foray into an Under-utilized World
Much like other offerings from Philip K. Dick, ‘Man in the High Castle’ is heavy on poetic philosophy set in a fascinating world. Unfortunately, Dick once again sacrifices story by under-utilizing the rich characters and settings to serve existential philosophical discussion.
If you like history, alternate-history fiction, sci-fi, or philosophy, you’ll enjoy this book. But be warned, it doesn’t score high on emotion or thrills. If you like Star Wars, this is not your cup of tea. If you like Star Trek, welcome.

Great book but some character voices are iffy
The story is awesome, quite different from the Amazon series so well worth considering. The book is well narrated except when it comes to Juliana's voice; it was hard to imagine the character when the narrator tried to sound like a woman. Otherwise, a great title.

Find someone who actually can pronounce German and Japanese
Very very painful to listen to. Accents are 1) wrong and 2) grossly exaggerated. Terrible performance. Could not finish.

Great idea but needs more detail.
The show has a lot more detail and connection between each story but without listening to the book I would not have put some connection together when watching the show. To get the whole picture you need to entertain both. I hated the ending of the book.

Not what I expected at all
The book had a lot of technical information about military, weapons and cultural practises, but it was not presented in an entertaining way and instead read more like a textbook at times.
There was also very advanced language used in most of the dialogue making you have to decipher what is being said.
The actor did a great job of trying all accents but they were so thick they were unrealistic and sometimes hard to understand.
I realize it's not proper to compare the TV show to the book which came first but it was the reason I found this book. After watching the series I had high expectations of this book and instead it was basically an entirely different story with some of the same names in the same settings that was less interesting.
All around it was a huge disappointment for me and very uninteresting.
