Negative Positive
Title: A good attempt
Review: Overall this was a page-turner, but it was more like eating McDonald's french fries really fast -- i.e., before they get cold. The characters were a bit "over-the-top" and not well developed, except for a few. Judging from their past efforts, I think Herbert & Anderson can do better, but they are likely relying on their own previous success than they are on their skills as writers -- which pale in comparison to Frank Herbert's genius.
Is the review positive or negative?
