This book is very good. It almost feels like Magical Realism at times, but never really delves into actual magic. I highly recommend reading about Philip K. Dick's life, drug addiction, and delusions either before or directly after finishing this book, because there are some direct parallels that make understanding the stranger bits easier.

Now let's address the elephant in the room. This book is about drugs. It feels like it was written by someone on drugs. Drugs permeate thoughout every facet of this book. In most ways, I feel the drugs are handled fairly well; however, like Infinite Jest, there's quite a few inaccuracies about things like effects, composition, etc due to propaganda and botched studies about drugs when the book was written. That being said, it doesn't mess with the story or ideas presented in any way.

I highly suggest this book, but I also think this book would be substantial easier to follow in print, rather than in audiobook format. There are quite a few sudden interjections of long passages that can be very jarring and confusing in the audiobook. I had to back the book up several time the first few times this happened, because I thought the book had skipped over a large section into a new one.
