Negative Positive
Title: Plodding, predictable, derivative.
Review: It seems that the "Dune" universe has been turned into another imaginationless formulaic cash-cow. The first couple of chapters were actually fairly intriguing and hooked me, after that I had to drag myself through the rest. I predicted the ending at about the 1/3 mark and after that not much surprised me or engaged me. Imagine killing a massive all powerful super computer with a virus! Oh man, how original! Characters were one dimensionally unbelievable.This book borrowed from daddy and other writers diluted it all down with mediocre writing an cashed in. If you absolutely can't get enough Dune, dig it out of your local used book store, and bring a clothespin.
