This is not a good graphic novel.
There is too much text, it feels really slow and laborious.

Art-wise: I know that cover art isn't necessarily indicative of the art within.. but I was a little disappointed by this adaptation. I actually wanted art deco or some super imaginative style, and that's not what's in here. My only other criticism has to do with Hoopla making it impossible to read all the essays at the end because the text was too small on my computer screen. Like 5 or 6 pt font. Really bad. And I couldn't zoom in on it at all. The texts originally appeared at the end of each issue so there are at least 50 pages of small print that really hurt my head. -_-
I rated the original PKD text 5 stars when I read it last year.

I have heard of this book for awhile and actually checked it out at one time but didn't have time to read it then. With a challenge I was in I was finally able to read it. I liked the book as it made you think. What is the meaning of being human and what makes you human? was just some of the questions. There was a couple scenes it wasn't fond of but that was just me. I could see why they were put in. I didn't care for some of the essays at the end of the book. To me some of them just didn't work or should I say do the job I think they were meant to do. Now I will say some of them I liked. You will just have to read them and see if you feel the same. I didn't even realize that this was the basis of blade runner. I would say that I watched that so long ago I couldn't even tell you if I liked it then. After reading this I might have to check it out but sounds like a certain one above the others.
