The Man in the High Castle | Philip K. Dick

Decided to listen to this one because I started watching the show a few years ago and never finished it. Thought I would try reading the book before I tried finishing the show. I hardly ever say this ... but the TV show is better than the book. I am curious now as to what other books it was up against for the awards it won.

Novel based in the 1960s where the Allies did not win WWII. The US is split in three; a Japanese west coast, a Nazi Germany east coast and a lawless middle, the Neutral Zone. The story follows a handful of characters all influenced by the I Ching, a fate oracle and a book called The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which shows another world where the Allies did in fact win WWII. Not crazy about the writing style but a pick nonetheless.

This story occurs in 1962 and depicts the political intrigues between Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany as they rule the partitioned United States.

I love the alternative history concept, it was very interesting. However, I struggled with the writing. I found the style choppy and hard to follow. It also took me a while to work out who was who and who was related to who.

I still found it worth the read though. 3/5☆

This was underwhelming. In an alternate history where the bad guys won WWII, we focus on the Japanese controlled west coast of the former USA. There's a strange writing style that seems to be attributed to only some characters' portions of the story & it doesn't lend itself to the American vs Japanese differences. A few of the Americans continually make decisions based on the I Ching which is like a prophesy-telling book. Why? Is it required?⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Have some Americans gladly turned over their free-will to this book? Hell if I know! This is just one of the many aspects of life in this world that doesn't quite make sense because it isn't explored. The Germans don't play much of a role in the book, and some of the characters & situations feel like filler, as there really is no point in their involvement. Not at all what I expected from an award-winning modern classic. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Maybe the Amazon show is less tedious. Despite the claim on this book cover, .my hair did not stand on end.

Speculative fiction set in a 1962 America where WWII ended very differently. This inspired the Amazon Prime series. Some of Philip K Dick's other works inspired Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report. Wow. ⭐⭐⭐

🎧📚 Alternate history! It‘s 1962, 15 years after we lost WWII. Japan rules the west coast, Nazi Germany rules the East. The 2 are divided by a neutral zone called The Rocky Mountain States.

Slaves exist. Super racial profiling.

5 main characters.: Childen, Tagomi, Baynes, Frink & Julianne

1st 1/2 of the book is in the west & 2nd in the neutral zone so the only Nazi info you get is from 2nd hand opinions & info dumps.

⭐️⭐️⭐️2/3 👇🏻

Twainy
This was written 60 years ago which explains a lot!! The attitudes in that era show up all over the book. So many ?‘s left unanswered & no time spent in the East. Was there supposed to be a 2nd book? Ends with a twist. 3y

Twainy PS - this review was 3092 characters 😆 3y

I can always fall back on the audiobook but I‘d prefer to read & anotate. I take my book clubs seriously 🙄 I have no idea how but I haven‘t seen this tv show or read the book so this should be fun! It‘s only 15 chapters. Sigh. We shall see. I remain hopeful! 😁

I have been crocheting A LOT. I had a friend ask if I could make a couple of masks for her and her husband. Then it kind of exploded into a bunch of people wanting them. I haven‘t heard anything from unemployment yet. It‘s been over a month now since I filed. Luckily making masks (and so far one pizza blanket) has helped to give me a little bit of extra money for essentials. I signed up for kindle unlimited and canceled audible.

Finally, another classic I've been meaning to read for so long. To me, this book only unfolded a couple of hours after I've finished it. While reading, I never knew what to think about it. After a bit of research and going over the story in my head it came to me what a great piece of art this is.

Some things just take their time.
And I'm sure to read this one again.

Bookwomble Great review 😊 It is a book that lingers, and which rewards rereading. 4y

TrishB Love this book ❤️ 4y

Buechersuechtling Oh, I think I would love to read it. My significant other and I started to watch the streaming series of the same name that obviously is based on this novel but I need to admit that the further the first season got the more it confused me. 🤔 So I would hope that the “original” would allow me to better understand Dick‘s intention. 4y

“On some other world, possibly it is different. Better. There are clear good and evil alternatives. Not these obscure admixtures, these blends, with no proper tool by which to untangle the components.”

Someone on Goodreads just 'liked' my non-existent review of this book, which was thoughtful and kind of them. I did save this quote, though, which as ever with PKD seems to presciently sum up the present state of affairs.

Survey Question - Would you count this as 1 book or 4 books?

I doubt I'll read any more than The Man in the High Castle. It went too much over my head and the premise was pretty frightening. I would hate to think about Germany and Japan winning and a concentration camp in NYC. Of course, because the occupying government was racist, some Americans took advantage of it to show their true colors. (shudder) If you read it, please help me understand.

After several days of treadmill due to unfit walking conditions, I finally ventured outside. It was 63F degrees (only 3 days ago it was -5!!!), but as you can see it‘s still icy and treacherous. It‘s going to get cold again, and more snow is supposedly on the way. But it did feel good to get out. I walked to the Dunkin‘ Donuts and got a coffee to reward myself for walking outside today. #LitsyWalkers #audiowalk

As for the one book I finished, I‘m pretty conflicted. I enjoyed the details of the alternate world and conceptually, the premise is very interesting. But, I did not enjoy his writing style (not enough emotion) and I didn‘t connect with any of the characters.

Where the Amazon original series fails, I had hoped the book would deliver. I'm so disappointed. Life is too short to read a bad book.

It‘s sort of a challenge to me. Gotta do it. Our weather hasn‘t been bad up til the last couple of days. If it‘s solid ice out , I‘ll have to walk at the indoor track, but I plan on getting outside at least for an around the block. 5y

Kaye I‘m so proud of you @BookBabe for taking that first step. Day one is probably the hardest. Once you get into the routine, you‘ll do great. Remember, it‘s not a race, not a competition. All it is, is for getting people out to walk while enjoying an audiobook. So even if you walk 10 minutes, it‘s 10 more than you would‘ve had before. I bet @MrBook will be proud of you too. 5y

Bklover Go @BookBabe !!! Proud of you! I‘m kinda proud of all of us. There is no one in the world less athletic than me! 5y

The Man in the High Castle | Philip K. Dick

Please, will someone tell me that I'm not the only one that buys a book because a guy that works in the bookshop (also my current crush xD) recommended it to me, as one of his favourites. ?

In my defence it was a "book night" and they had some good deals.
