Ubik Audiobook

" My first SF novel ever! What a start! I cannot belive I have never heard of this book. Seems there is a lot to catch up with! "

" Loved it, and I need to read it again "

" Can't find a good read? Spray on UBIK and any book is good! Can't find a job? UBIK will fix you right up! This book is often bizzare and puzzling, while very entertaining. Finding out the truth about UBIK in the final plot twist makes this book a truly brilliant story! "

" The first third of Ubik was a bit dull to me. After that, however, it grew to extremely interesting, then mind-bending, then, holy heek, to that ending... O_o "

" My pick for the second-whackest of all of PKD's works (the first being "The Three Stigamata of Palmer Eldritch"). This is one you should read just to truly get a grip on what Philip Dick was all about. Don't expect it to make a hell of a lot of sense-- it's a ride.Anybody trying to deconstruct or analyze this one is, IMO, missing the point. "

" It holds up very well as science fiction, but I've come to expect more from Dick. It's missing the unique character spark that makes him stand out. "

" Philip K. Dick always writes the most interesting books that play with your sense of reality. This one is no exception. "

" The time-concept switched too much for me. I didn't get why other people liked it so much. "

" If you liked "Inception" or "The Matrix" then you'd probably like this. It's kind of a similar concept of people trapped in essentially a dreamworld where things can change around them in an instant. Of course there's a lot less kung-fu and car chases than those movies. "

" After the semi autobiographical VALIS, Ubik is surely one of my absolute favorites and I'm looking forward to reading it again. "

" Exceptional. Dick was a master of sci fi, no argument. This novel twists your mind into knots and leaves it there. "

" Dick is so eager with his concept that he glosses over character development and rushes the pacing. That being said, it was a good enough concept that I wish I could have had another 100 pages. "

" Overrated. I was not overly impressed, but it was definitely a strange and somewhat dystopic view of the future. They are making it into a movie, but I don't know how. "

" Initial reaction upon finishing it: this book is amazing and so complex and I adored it. And that ending! Oh, so good. "

" This book is nuts. Dick's version of the future is strange, but familiar enough to resonate with a contemporary reader, and his philosophical concerns about the epistomology of life/death and questions about reality, perception and time are engaging and relevant. "

" My favorite PKD novel and probably my favorite scifi novel of all time. What more can one say. Buy it. Read it. It won't take you that long. "

" I've just read 6 PK Dick books in the past month... It may be burn out. I could not get into this book. "

" A science fiction novel with a metaphysical slant. Witty and well paced... for me, perfection. "

" Satirical commentary on the consequences of excessive, obsessive consumerism wrapped around a comic mystery-thriller with old fashioned whodunit qualities. This probably could stand up to two or three readings; there is plenty of story-with-the-story going on. "

" Interesting. I really enjoy Philip K. Dick's writing style. But, the story is a bit bizarre - not quite as well put together as "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". "

" This is a great book - I kept thinking , "What the fuck is going on?" "

" I'm glad I read it, and I guess I enjoyed it, but I can't really say I understood it. I guess maybe that is part of the appeal.. makes you think. "

" Buy Ubik! Will solve all your problems in life, if applied as specified in the prescription. "

" Interesting, creepy book. Typical Philip K Dick style. He creates weird anachronistic worlds. "

" Really classic Dick. If you like a book where reality distorts and bends, this is for you. "

" Incredible plot. A lesson on how to write a brilliant sci-fi novel. "
