Book Reviews of A Scanner Darkly
Book Review: Deeply paranoid
Summary: 4 Stars
The story of a man living so many lives he loses contact with himself. A narc, hes placed in such a deep cover operation not even his superiors know his identity. Then he's assigned to watch over, and file reports, about a suspected drug-player ... himself. As he tries to make sense of his world he slowly slips into a paranoia worsened by his addiction to the same drug he's policing, and enters into a confusion that only Dick could make come real. Disturbing, convincing, and with a haunting twist at the close of the novel, Dick gives us a little glimpse into his own character.
