The Man in the High Castle

Story: 2 / 10
Characters: 6
Setting: 9
Prose: 7

Another awful book. Not a single thing happened. Just a lot of waiting for characters to appear and other random events in 3-5 different story lines.
There were a few good points though:
1. Most alternate history books about WWII seems to forget Japan
2. The Japanese influence on their “territories” in the US is brilliant
3. The simplified prose used by Japanese characters is extremely clever
4. The ramifications of Nazi victory in WWII is profound and terrifying, from the technological innovations to culture cleansing
5. This book was my first exposure to the I Ching (Book of Changes). Including that philosophy definitely made for some fun

Not sure if I should even return to Philip K. Dick after that. He seems to be an “idea man”, not a storyteller. Recall having lacklustre feelings about “Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep”, though I did give it 3 / 5 stars. Would welcome your thoughts on the subject...
