Title: So tired of Honored Matres and torture
Review: I would be happy never to hear the term "Honored Matre" again. I didn't read either Heretic or Chapterhouse, but have read all the other Dune books and prequels. In general, I'm fairly happy with all of them. I am getting a little tired of the torture angle, however. It just goes on and on, and a little could go a long way. When you are listening to the audio tapes (which are just excellent, by the way), you can't even skip over the worst of it. I agree with most of the reviewers about this particular book, in that no one is likeable. I sure hope this changes in the next book. But good or bad, it is still a continuation of the Dune universe, and worth it just for that (and the reason for 4 stars).At the end of the tape there was an interview with the authors. They mentioned further prequels, including "Paul of Dune", which chronicles Paul's entire life. I hope I am still alive when it comes out! I really love Paul.
Is the review positive or negative?
