I read it a few years ago and this is a pretty good description, other than that it's not as bizzare as dick's stuff usually is.
The main thing I remember is that there were a lot of animal-people in it. It was OK.

Out of the 4 books I've read by Lethem, this was the only one I disliked. The characters aren't as vibrant as the synopsis makes it seem, and the whole thing is just kind of hollow.

It would make a good film in the hands of the right director, though.

If youre watching your money, why buy new? Get a copy from Amazon or a 2nd hand book shop

I couldn't find it at any bookstore, sorry. I'll try out Amazon but if it's so bad I don't know if I should buy it rather than getting a quick summary of the plot.

If you can get it for a couple bucks just try it yourself, dude. It's not horrible, I just couldn't connect with it. Motherless Brooklyn is much better imo.
