The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
4.0
I found this book really interesting especially since this is an alternate reality from the view that the Axis powers had won WWII. What really made me enjoy this book was that it was not only presenting a different world than ours, but using the setting as a way to view our world from an outside stance. There are a lot of connections throughout I felt that Philip K. Dick was trying to weave between the two.
I will say that I had an extremely slow start to this book. Mostly in part because I was really busy when I started this book, but also because it takes a minute for all the characters' lives to be introduced. And, each individual story can feel somewhat disjointed from each other. But, once I made it to the last third of the book the ways that each character impact each other and their connections start to be known. This is really what renewed my interest and in turn the pace I read at picked up.
