Title: Good in it's own right
Review: I love Dune. When I introduce friends to science fiction, it is one of the two or three books I recommend. I didn't expect something on the order of Dune in the prequels, but I was pleasantly surprised with House Harkonnen. I thought House Atriedes was simplistic and not overly well written, but in House Harkonnen the writing and the story line took off and gave me a compelling narrative. For the purists who complain that it doesn't approach Dune--well, nothing does. Even Dune's sequels, IMHO, weren't up to the standard of the original. House Harkonnen is good, plain, entertaining science fiction. Loved it.
