Scott Sheaffer’s Reviews > A Scanner Darkly > Status Update

The second half of the book is better than the first if you can believe it. I have a feeling this story is going to stick with me for a while, like gum does when you swallow it!

This is nuts! The drug world might seem like fun and games for a while, but eventually it will kill you. Deciding to take drugs is like deciding to step off the curb in front of a speeding truck in that the ending is predictable and isn't pretty!

This book is a hot mess. At this point it seems something like Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad but set in the 70's hippie culture.

Another excellent and weird book by Dick.
