Title: How could it be this bad?
Review: The setting for the Dune world, with all its factions, and mix of jedi-type magic and politics is probably the most exciting, interesting, and marvelous setting I've ever read about. So how could this book be so bad?There is almost NO action and an immense amount of dialogue. At times I believe Herbert was just talking to himself, amazing himself at how clever he could be.It's everybody against the 'God Emperor' but how do you defeat someone that knows the future? Obviously Herbert couldn't figure it out either because he had to make Leto II purposely dense and uncaring so that everyone would have a chance.I loved the first 3 and still plan on reading the last 2 but they HAVE to get better. If you can find an abridged version of this book read it just to keep up with the story line.
