Title: A Dune book for Star Wars prequel fans everywhere
Review: I just finished reading this "Dune" book and I have to say I am perplexed. It was mindless entertainment, but I can't count it as good for that very reason. Dune fans have grown up with a series that is steeped in complexities and three dimmensional characters and this is the very thing that keeps us coming back to the series. The original Dune books, while entertaining, all had meaning. This book doesn't. It seems to squander all its potentiality to create real people by limiting their appearences to mere soundbites. In fact the only characters who seem to have been well developed are the robots, simply because there isn't really that much to them. Overall, if you're a Dune fan, you'l act exactly like me. You'll rush out and buy the book, excitedly start to read it-grasping for the sparks of the original series- and ultimatly walk away dissatisfied.AD
