Title: not really the best
Review: I read the many superlative reviews of this book and purchased it last month. I thought the people who wrote in that they couldn't finish the book were just being obnoxious. To my dismay, I would have to agree with them. Yes, the plot is fine, and the book is imaginative. The rival families/spice/Gesserit are somewhat interesting. But I had to put the book down 2/3 of the way through. It's just so boring, and convoluted, I couldn't take it. I found no pleasure in having to work through it. Anti-semitic? I doubt it. Bad grammar in spots? Yeah sure, but not a big deal.In short, a good book, but clearly not in the same league as J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings."P.S. No one talks about this book...at all. Just wait until Tolkien's movies come out. See the difference for yourself.
Is the review positive or negative?
