I think it is a way off from being his best book. It has, conventionally speaking, the most striking premise (for its day). Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is much superior. What I found really interesting is to read his short fiction and then go back to the novels. In the stories you see his controlled, precise side and that kind changes how you feel about his longer work. I cannot recommend these enough: Faith of Our Fathers Upon The Dull Earth The Electric Ant I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon I think reading the novels one is only seeing one side of the writer.
