From what I remember from the book it was pretty clear what Deckard is. But I agree, I liked the movie ending.

Is there more than one book? I've only read the first.

Actually nobody who worked on the movie could decide on what Deckard is. The writers originally wanted to make it ambiguous, and Ridley Scott made his opinion known by adding the dream sequence in the directors cut.

There are sequel books, but only the first was written by PKD. He died before the movie came out (although he saw parts of it and gave it his blessing). The sequels were written by a friend of his.

there was a period in the middle of the book where it was really in doubt if Deckard was or wasn't.
