Negative Positive
Title: I give up.
Review: I started these prequels because I wanted a glimpse into Frank Herbert's notes. I'm not sure if it's worth the agony of reading them to get the shreds of information that they contain.They didn't have to imitate slavishly Frank Herbert's books, but it seems that they didn't even understand wherein lay the orginal books' greatness.Simply put: If you liked and could appreciate the original novels, these are NOT for you. If you thought the originals were needlessly dense and complex without much "action," then, by all means, give these new books a try.
