Title: Boring and silly
Review: Easily the most boring of the non-Frank Herbert series. Very little character development. At times, the plotline is downright silly (Norma's transformation, Holtzman's end, everything about the Titan Hecate, the Cogiters' meddling). The way they explain the so-called Harkonnen treachery was ludicrous. I kept hoping they'd explain the source of the long standing Atreides-Harkonnen animosity, but was very disappointed. Maybe they'll do it on about page 600 of the next (and hopefully last!) book, but I'm not eager to find out anymore.It also seemed like they injected politics of the last couple years into the story. How lame. Hardly worthy of a saga developed over a dozen novels.
Is the review positive or negative?
