Summary: androids are like sycophants
Review: Dick has outdone himself with this brilliant book on how androids are like sycophants, those blind adherers to societal norms in present-day society. He merely extrapolates from this premise of sycophantic, extrinsically-motivated actions and reveals how this is not a way of human living, or being.

Summary: Classic Sci-Fi at it's finest. An absolute must for PKD fans
Review: The book takes you to situations that are impausible at times but unceasingly imaginable in entirety - this, I found most enjoyable. Most of it is written in "first-person" narration which adds to the social and moral pressures that Dick is able to imposes on his readers with finesse. A pensive fiction that is perhaps relevent more today that ever in the past. It shatters doctrines on "Life" and as such the emerging philosophies favor consiousness.Can't let go without criticizing Blade Runner. As a child I was always was a BR nut but the movie hardly does justice to it's inspiration, the characters, backdrop or progression. I saw the movie again after reading the book and sure enough, it seemed like I was watching it for the first time.

Summary: Very Good Story and Developemment, but A Poor Ending!
Review: This book is maybe one of the best Philip K. Dick's book. The story is very elaborate and the way the author keeps you in the mood of the story is extrordinary and very bright for that kind of book. This is a classic in sci-fi litterature. The introduction is very good and he related all the evenements is very genius and wath can we say about the developemment it's so good and interesting the way he explains the retirement of the first three androids, but wath a poor ending he goes to fast it's like if his life was in danger if he continued to explains a little bit. Well the book is excellent after all and I recommended it to people that like's good sci-fi and that are good readers because he is by some parts a little difficult.

Summary: A Superior Novel
Review: I was skeptical when I first picked up this novel. I wasn't really into science fiction at the time. Yet, this book truly made me a believer. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is truly a superior novel in every aspect. The story gives a peculiar view of the issue of the replicants through the eyes of a replicant-killer and a "special" human in their society... Truly an amazing book.

Summary: It made me a PKD fan
Review: Nothing of significance in this book really correlates with Bladerunner (in fact, Ridley Scott's movie has an opposite depiction of Earth). Plenty of ruminations on the human condition, and a really important work of science fiction. Not quite as powerful as Martian time-slip, but powerful nonetheless. This book made me seek as many PKD titles as I could find.

Summary: Apples & Oranges
Review: Comparing "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" to "Blade Runner" is like comparing "Heart of Darkness" to "Apocalypse Now." To be fully appreciated, each must be examined independently of its inspiration.

Summary: This book is fantastic.
Review: I consider "Do Androids Dream..." to be one of the two best books that I have ever read, the other being Johnny Got His Gun. It is totally incredible, and I think that the movie Blade Runner is a great movie. PKD is one of the most visonary wtiters ever.

Summary: The book is a different story altogether
Review: Like so many, I've seen the movie BLADE RUNNER (the original and Director's Cut), and read the book which it is based on. I loved both. The movie is beautiful and meaningful, but it's meaning is different than the book. The movie's question is "Should Deckard be killing the Replicants?" and it talks about why or why not. The question in the book is "Is Deckard a Replicant?" and by the end of the book, we still have no idea. Both are book and movie are great, but you have to take them as seperate pieces of art. I highly reccomend both.

Summary: wonderful...
Review: This is one of the most gripping novels I've ever read. I read the first few pages on a school night, and the next day finished it in school, resolutely ignoring the classes I was meant to be paying attention to. Incredibly gripping. You've probably already seen Blade Runner, but if you haven't, I'd read Androids and steer clear of the film. It's an okay movie in and of itself, but you'll realize that it's rather a shallow parody of the masterful book upon which it was based. Just read it, why dontcha!?!?
