Title: Not a Fun Read
Review: You have to give Frank Herbert credit for having a great imagination and stamina. That's about all you have to give him credit for.The plot is cumbersome. The characters have no charisma. The whole idea of this high culture developing on this barren rock seems pretty far-fetched. Herbert's invented ceremonies and cultural mores are wonderful, but they can't support the bloated story and anemic characters. Masochism not being my strong suit, I gave up on this one after about a hundred pages.
