I really enjoyed this book, but found myself puzzled by the ending. I had to reread the last few chapters & read a review online to fully understand it.

I knew it was going to get cerebral, but I struggled to understand the place of Mercerism in the book. I think I would have understood this book better if read in a classroom setting with someone to hold my hand while reading it.

I'm happy that I read this because it is one of the foundational texts of my favorite genre. And also the foundational text of one of my favorite movies. But Blade Runner managed to take what was good out of this story and make it great while leaving behind what didn't work. And there was some weird stuff in here that did not work for me. Especially egregious was how Rachel was written about and described. Really not on board with the misogyny of the early sci-fi world. Happy I finally ticked this off my list so that I never have to read it again.
