My Lit Circle Book is Done

Well...The title sort of says it all. And what a weird ending it was. I must admit, I really enjoyed this book, but can't for the life of me tell you why. NOTHING happened the entire book! I could probably summarize it in about 1 sentence: "Bunch of random people talking about heavy psychological stuff in a horrible world." The end.

So yeah, the ending of the book was not only anti-climactic, but really really creepy. Basically, throughout the whole book there were like 3 major story-lines with three different lame endings.

• Mr. Tagomi, a Japanese trade missioner in San Fransisco. He shoots some Nazis with a fake Colt revolver and over-stresses about this. He's a Buddhist, so hates killing. He buys a piece of EdFrank jewelry and goes into the alternate "the Allies Won" world, then dies of a heart attack.
• Frank Fink, a Jew hiding out and making jewelry. He gets arrested by the Nazis and then saved by Mr. Tagomi and his paperwork. He then goes back to making jewelry.
• Juliana Fink, the oddly independent woman who was hanging out with the "Italian" guy named Joe. Joe turns out to be a spy trying to kill the dude who wrote Grasshopper, and Juliana goes insane and kills Joe. She then gore and talks to the Grasshopper dude.

So yeah, the book really made you think but it had a horrible ending. ):< Apparently Phillip K. Dick meant to write a sequel but never managed it. Oh well.....
