The ideas are solid. The writing is clunky but I say that about most fiction written decades before I was born. Didn't find the characters particularly compelling but the ideas are there and at the end of the day ideas are where sci-fi reigns supreme.
Great ideas, sloppy execution, incredibly wooden dialogue. A rare example of a film adaptation far exceeding the source material.
Cannot believe how good it was. This is a book I will be thinking about very often. The ending really reinforced the theme of the book for me. I can see why it's such a classic.
I liked it! With the movie in mind, I saw the book visually.

So much better than the movie. Really glad I read this. It raises questions about the nature of life and the meaning of empathy in a way that stays with you.

It's hard to judge a work that has been so influential in its genre. Great idea but the story feels a bit flat. There isn't much tension or conflict, everything seems to just fall in place.

Una riflessione sulla flebile e confusa differenza tra ciò che è umano e ciò che è costruito a sua immagine e somiglianza, rappresentata dalla continua e crescente conflittualità che Rick Deckard prova durante tutti gli eventi del libro. Una storia appassionante dove nessuno ha ragione e tutti hanno un po’ torto, dove la sola conciliazione raffigura la via per una “risposta” al gravoso quesito della vita senziente extra-umana

Rick is a bounty hunter who is tracking down 6 androids. This is set in the future after a war that has killed many people and animals. It is implied that the androids are killers and this is why Rick has been sent out the kill them. At times it is a strong story highlighting emotional differences between humans and androids. At other times it is confusing, especially with the character Mercer. Animals do play a part in the story. Blade Runner loosely based on characters but not exactly the same story.
