I have mixed feelings about this book, but I do recommend it for those with a deep interest in the work of Philip K. Dick.

It's a Philip K. Dick World! “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” —Philip K. Dick Government intrusion into our personal lives is increasing, the economy is shot and the media focus on hate and violence. Philip K. Dick's fifth and last wife, Tessa Dick, talks about her husband. I have my own books and stories, as well.

Excellent review Tessa. I totally agree. Unfortunately there will be thousands of Philip K.Dick fans drawn to the work by its title alone. Once they read it though they will realise that there is no content. It is simply 'gubble, gubble' which reduces rather than adds to the great canon of PKD enquiry.
Your review nails it perfectly. My feelings were that this was someone using PKD as a 'brand' to launch their own career. I thought it shallow and infantile - not a work of serious merit.
thanx, Nick -- I was seriously disappointed when I read that book
he just takes getting used to ... then it gets deeper ... i have the opposite experience with your late hubbles
thanx, piet, but I reviewed a book by some guy who never met Phil
