Ubik is actually a really fascinating novel and one of my favorites by PKD.

Ubik is pure Dick, and a must-read: a wonderfully bizarre adventure that’ll make you stare at the wall for hours and wonder, as Dick surely did, about what’s really on the other side of it.

'Ubik' is my favourite Philip K Dick book, though I cant claim to have read them all because he wrote so many.
