Title: These characters are just plain stupid!
Review: The thing that bugs me about these prequels and sequels to Dune, is that the characters just are just not as *subtle* as Frank Herbert's characters were. It's like a keystone cop parady of the Dune books. What's with the Honored Matre reverend mother's who, after undergoing the rigorous mental and physical training to get through the spice agony, can't control their tempers? Heck, all the the characters in this book are just plain stupid. They do dumb things and they don't behave rationally. _Hunters of Dune_ is kind of pathetic when you measure it against the masterful novels of Frank Herbert.
Is the review positive or negative?
