4.0 out of 5 stars A discursive look at the nature of faith and the soul., 23 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Divine Invasion (Paperback)
Once again Dick asks the question "What is it that makes us human?". This time from the point of view of our relationship with faith, the soul and post existential theology.

The beauty of this book lies in the extraordinary compassion Dick shows for his characters. Not surprising as his central argument is that we are all of us a complex set of alternate points of view. Humanity lies in the search for truth and through it the absorption of our various facets.

This book is a lot simpler than it seems and a great deal funnier than one might imagine. It doesn't have to be read as part of the trilogy and can be an interesting alternative point of entry to Dick's other work. But then again, start wherever you can and read them all. You will only have yourself to blame if you miss out!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite PKD, 3 Jan 2001
This review is from: The Divine Invasion (Paperback)
Part of PKDick's semi-religious trilogy, but much easier to read than the confusing first volume, VALIS. This is also a moving story, which I enjoyed hugely. Some of the theology is strange - you have to be in the right mood to be receptive to it. But he has a unique way of making you care what happens to his characters. Superb

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a mind altering drug, 25 Mar 2004
By Ms. S. A. Marsden "Sophia" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Divine Invasion (Paperback)
And a wonderful one at that, it takes you on a rollercoster of emotions, revalations, realisations and sets you down with a profoundly altered consiousness for several days! Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his best?
First published in 1981 this must have been one of PKD's last novels.

It deals with the same themes of Valis and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer but that was more or less... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Really too late a novel to be a place to start
Philip K. Dick had gone down his own road by the time of the VALIS trilogy , his earlier works are very much a better place to start if you want to get some inkling of how he got... Read more
