The Man in the High Castle, by Philip K. Dick

There are brilliantly written descriptive sequences early in this novel about Frank Frink, one of the protagonists.  And the writing with missing words and incorrect punctuation when Tagomi is speaking feel original.  However, I found this novel murky and difficult to follow.  That may have been Dick's intention, for it does seem to be about a dream (nightmare); even the narrative about Juliana and Joe have a film noir quality.  And then again my overall lack of enjoyment may just be that I couldn't get the TV show out of my mind.
