Negative Positive
Title: Not very impressive.
Review: I was very disappointed by this book. I know Frank Herbert is dead, and these 2 writers have a different style, so I won't complain about that. The biggest problem I have with this is that the reason I liked Frank Herbert's Dune series is because of the focus on ideas--this book seems like nothing more than a space opera. The characters were all shallow and unsympathetic. Sure there was action, but this was just a page-turner--I mean, sure, it was well-written, but it was very formulaic and predictable. I'll say this--if you love Dune, get it, if not, your money is better spent elsewhere.
