Title: Sad [editing] work...where was the editor
Review: Like many readers I've enjoyed the Dune universe and the truly unique future history Frank Herbert created. Like others who've reviewed this book I read the early prequels; House Harkonnen, House Atriedes and House Corrino. They were fairly typical soap opera, but not horrible bus reads. They also fleshed out the story that lead up to Dune fairly well.The Butlerian Jihad is truly awful however. ... ...The characters are like cardboard cutouts. The dialogue is unbelievably bad. I had to put the book aside several times just because parts were so laughably bad.I can't recommend this book. ......
