4.0 out of 5 stars
if you like Philip K Dick,
By A Customer
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: An Oval (Paperback)
It's been tough to find a book in the "mind" of Philip K Dick since his death, except for Michael Bishop's ".. Alas" it seemed the mind-game genre was done and then I found this. Mr. Knight's previous had never floored me (except his true hisotry book "The Futurians") but this is something else. I see lower scores here and figure that the type of story is just "quirky" or "cute" to many readers but if you're really into reality-questioning fiction then this is one not to miss.If you like it, do try the later PKD novels (starting with Maze Of Death) and, this may sound odd but it's true, go back and re-read Socrates for fun.

did I miss something?,
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: An Oval (Paperback)
I must have either missed a whole bunch of allusions and metaphors in this book, otherwise I simply can't understand what the previous reviewers were thinking. I found the story incredibly disjointed, becoming more so towards the conclusion. Perhaps owing to my own obtuse nature I failed to understand anything concerning the plot or the characters. One the whole, nothing was resolved to my satisfaction. I can only hope that other readers will have a more satisfying experience that my own. Please - don't hesitate to fill me in if you can figure this one out! cheers

I LOVED "why I don't want to be a woman" paraaagrah,
By A Customer
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: An Oval (Paperback)
I don't remember much about the book except that one paragraph detailing "why I don't want to be a woman." I have had to check out the book from the libaray again just to read that one paragraph. I remember enjoying the book, but that one paragraph. When DID I sign up for the beauty contest, anyway? I don't remember.
