A Scanner Darkly.

I like to read Philip K. Dick's science fiction novels. He's pretty good at creating a likely future and going off from that. I read the graphic novel A Scanner Darkly 180 pages based on one of Dick's works. It was my first time reading a graphic novel; not to be mistaken for a comic book. I thought it was going to explain itself in due time, it didn't. I was lost. So I think maybe one has to compliment the real novel with the graphic one. I'm not too sure. The book has mild adult-content.
I think it's about getting rid of a drug called Substance D. The main character Robert Actor is an undercover cop that needs to catch dealers; it just so happens, though, that he's a user too. I get lost when I read it. I don't recommend it.
