I finished "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said" last night after a long reading session. It took me a while to get into this book. The first bit plods along in happy valley and I was bored by the walk. Then suddenly, the rug is pulled out from under the main character and things get interesting. In full Philip K. Dick style, this book keeps the main character and the reader guessing as to what's the truth and what's a lie, who is really who, and why things are turning upside down. The world Dick draws is halfway between dystopia and last Tuesday. I felt the epilogue diffused some of the power of the book.
