Review: The writing itself was fine. The story and attention to detail was horrible. The book read like a 600 page introduction in which every piece of the action was totally predictable. There was not even a hint of the plot complexities usually associated with Frank Herbert's Dune books. The three prequels where masterpieces next to this book.The only highlight of the whole thing is reading about the origins of what will be the Dune universe. ...I thought the other three Dune novels by Brian Herbert and Anderson were pretty worthy prequels. "The Butlerian Jihad," by contrast, misses the mark completely. I rarely give only one star to a book that I have actually finished, but this one will be an exception. ......
