It didn't go exactly where I expected. ( ) What I liked: the cover art and the font chosen for the title What I didn't like: the story I'll be a little more charitable: I do like Herbert's writing style, even when I don't like what he's writing about. It was very easy to whiz right through this book but finishing left me totally unfulfilled. A downright silly story, the plot is right out of a comic book. And I'm not talking a "Days of Futures Past" or "Dark Knight" style classic, I'm talking a throw-away "Marvel Two-In-One" plot line. I read Herbert's Dune Messiah when I was 11 (it was what I could afford at a school book fair), not realizing it was a sequel. It was confusing to a 5th grader. A few years later, I read The Dosadi Experiment, also not realizing that it was a sequel...of sorts. Also confusing. What a Mind Herbert had! Creating the alien concepts...alien interactions .. much more challenging than straight up human-only science fiction. I wish he had written more of these rather than churning out the drivel of the later Dune chain, which jumped the shark for me halfway through God Emperor... sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
