I picked this book to read for a theology in SF/F reading challenge, and boy did I pick a doozey. At 180 pages, this has to be one of the most complicated little books I've read in a long time. I really enjoyed it, but it is heavy on the theology and has a crazy plot. My understanding is that Dick started the book, but put it down and offered it to another writer because he didn't know enough about Christianity to finish it. Zelazny saw it at the other writer's house and offered to finish it for Dick. So part of the fun of this book is trying to guess who wrote what parts. This only being the second book by Dick I've read, but the fifth by Zelazny, I still had fun playing guess the author. But the real fun comes in the crazy plot these guys dreamed up.
