I have to say that despite the fact that I was a little confused by the jumps in the beginning of this novel, it was my favorite to read so far! One characteristic that I absolutely love when reading novels is characters. What I really loved about this novel is that PKD took his time developing the characters and exploring them.
Bonny, Hoppy and Bill were the characters that really stood out to me in this novel. There really seemed to be a drastic change within each of them. For example, I never thought that Hoppy would try to take over the system and start killing people – I actually thought that he would be the one to surprise everyone and help them restart civilization.
I was interested in Bonny throughout the novel, but after I finished reading and thinking about her role, I wondered, "Oh, what did she do other than abandon her family?" After thinking about that, I wondered why exactly she was a main character, since she didn't seem to directly do anything that was a main consequence to the events of the novel.
