Why does this get so much praise?

I personally liked more Electric Sheep, probably because it was amongst the first books I ever read and the name looked funny to me, but why does this get so much hype and appreciation?

Do people like to go for fantasy/alternate history?

You could judge a book by it's cover, it's just not always accurate.

I really liked the idea of the story when I first heard about it and I was pretty exited to read it, but reading it really made me wish he had a better story to go with the idea.

I found it unimaginative, if only a bit.

I always enjoyed the scenes focusing on Tagomi, beyond that it was simply entertaining in the very least.
