Da leggere *prima* di vedere la serie

4 stars

Leggere questo romanzo dopo aver visto la serie non è stata una grande giocata. Mentre il libro è molto sottile e approfondisce solo alcuni aspetti, la serie ha aggiunto tantissimi elementi in più, soprattutto nell'ambito dell'azione. Detto questo: consiglio tantissimo entrambe.

Review of 'The Man in the High Castle' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I read this book because I'd seen a couple of episodes of the TV series. Honestly, as usual, the book is better. They took a lot of liberties with the series (only way to stretch a relatively short book that long,) and the characters are sometimes quite different.

This is classic Phillip K. Dick. Dystopian alternative future. It's very conceptual, rather than character-driven, although a couple of the characters are better developed than the rest. Worth a read, for sure.
