Summary
On Mars, the harsh climate could make any colonist turn to drugs to escape a dead-end existence. Especially when the drug is Can-D, which transports its users into the idyllic world of a Barbie-esque character named Perky Pat. When the mysterious Palmer Eldritch arrives with a new drug called Chew-Z, he offers a more addictive experience, one that might bring the user closer to God. But in a world where everyone is tripping, no promises can be taken at face value.
This Nebula Award nominee is one of Philip K. Dick's enduring classics, at once a deep character study, a dark mystery, and a tightrope walk along the edge of reality and illusion.

Wonderful
This story is absolutely fascinating! Specially after you read the story of PKD, disturbing, in a way I could say.
Besides, the narrator's performance is just brilliant.

Incredibly well read
Intriguing and twisting story with a brilliant performance by Luke Daniels, his voices for the characters really stick with you and have a lot of depth to them.
Frustratingly however there are a few places in the audiobook where it keeps skipping. Nothing against the book itself though

great story, good narrator who made one off choice
don't want to spoil anything in the story, it's great barring some very mid-20th century writing on women, but the narrator made a bad choice in going for really strong regional accents for all the characters, there are better ways to differentiate different people in a reading

Let’s be kind; this is, at best, “of it’s time”.
Like listening to an ex-addict relate 8 hours of tired old drug anecdotes in a dying kitchen party. It’s times like this I wish I wasn’t a completionist.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
What did I just listen to?!
I think I was following it up until Barney took the Chew-Z. Then...... ??!?!! 🦇💩🙃
The sexism is so bad. Really hard going at times. I know it's par for the course for sci fis of this era but I don't have to like it.
Overall the book is off the wall utterly insane, but is it good? There are many original concepts giving food for thought, it is well written and it's definitely entertaining. The narrator is pretty good too. So I think it's a tentative yes? hmm.. 🤔

What's happening?
I am a huge fan of PKD but I've no idea what was going on in this particular book.

start to finish it was incredible.
Narrator is amazing, he brings such depth and personality to the characters. One of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure to experience, as it is something of an experience.

Drug Stuff.
Interesting enough. Feels like an exposition of a bad trip from within a bad trip. That shit is cyclic.
