Eh. This was just kind of strange. And I actually didn't really care for Phil Gigante's audio version. I normally enjoy his stuff, but this short story just didn't do it for me.

J'ai vu le film par hasard à la tv avec Matt Damon et je dois dire que j'ai adoré. Cette idée que nous ne sommes pas maîtres de notre destinée, que le libre arbitre n'est que chimère...
Du coup j'ai eu envie de découvrir la nouvelle qui a inspirée le film, et je ne regrette pas. Bon je dois dire quand même que ça n'a pas grand chose à voir avec le film et qu'en tant que lectrice je suis gravement restée sur ma faim avec cette nouvelle ; inévitablement en ayant vu le film on s'attend à plus de développements mais c'est un peu comme si l'auteur avait décidé de simplement dérouler le fil d'une idée qu'il a eu un jour sans chercher à aller plus loin.
Malgré tout ça reste un texte vraiment super, qui pose une foule de questions....

Ok I just watched the movie (I love Matt Damon) and the short story just didn't live up to the movie. But still a worthwhile read!

Dick's story crescendos into a simple, thoughtful scene explaining one version of the relationship between people and their puppeteer.

YEAH. If only the movie was this good.

I read this in preparation for the film. I found it fun, and a little weird. I still left wanting a little bit more though.

It was interesting to read the story after seeing the movie based on the story. I think the movies a much more flushed-out version of the story and there are some issues with this story. Over all I liked it and thought it was interesting the way the life insurance salesman and the vacuum cleaner salesmen were used to affect the plot.

Решила почитать книгу после просмотра фильма "Меняющие реальность". Идея фильма показалась весьма интересной, решила почитать первоисточник, но он оказался как-то вообще ни о чем.
