Title: Sophomoric at its zenith
Review: Frank Herbert must be rolling over in his grave knowing the series he created has been so shamed. The Butlerian Jihad reads more like "Harry Potter and the Evil Robots" than anything remotely associated with Dune. The plot is weak, the dialog is forced. This single book should be an end to the story. Instead there are two more to plod through to get to the end. Laced with weak descriptions of characters, flaws in logic so great that even the computer illiterate can see them, the technology seems to be out of the mind of an elementary school student. Read it if you must know how the factions of Dune started, but dont expect a good read.
