Title: really, really, really bad
Review: I read the first few pages of this book marveling at how poorly it was written, how superficial the characters were, how it seemed that descriptions of people, places and events were included to increase word count rather than to increase my reading pleasure. I thought that if this were a worthy sucessor to the Dune series, then I must be suffering from the "visiting my childhood home" syndrome (gee, this place is smaller than I remember it. A lot smaller).So I got a copy of Dune and read it again. It is as good as I remember it. This book, on the other hand, is really, really, really bad. This book should be read only in paperback, and only if the front cover has been torn off. Your enjoyment may be maximized if you read only the back cover. sorry.
