pickI find the Dune books written by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert to be way more readable than those written by Frank Herbert. This isn‘t said to dis‘ Frank. Instead, I say this to praise Kevin and Brian. This duo brings the Dune universe completely to life, giving us a flourishing backdrop against which we may better understand Frank‘s masterpieces. I do consider this one to be a “must read,” without which much of the epic tale is lost.
I feel that this book has a very large plothole. Holtzmann has to use teams of math-solving slaves to carry out calculations on a planet where computers are banned due to the threat of thinking machines. However, they seem to have no issue with spaceships, which surely require powerful computational components, and with electronics-based weaponry. I've never seen a Raspberry Pi revolt and try to usurp power.
pickGreat book. Loved the way they ended this trilogy. Already curious for the next books!!!
Holiday update: What a trilogy! I just can't stop reading. Unfortunately, tomorrow is not holiday 😣
pickMarvellous!! I'm just loving to know more about Dune universe with these prequels!
Kindle is growing on me as @Aninski told!! Holiday lunch, alone and reading comfortably. 📚💜
pickI just loved this book that brought me back to Dune universe I enjoyed so much in my teens. I will read the original books again as soon as I get to them (I'm reading in chronological order). If you haven't Frank Herbert's books I think it would be a good idea starting by his son and Anderson's books. #Sha2017 #SciFi
Saturday afternoon reading. This book is marvellous!!! ❤❤❤
Started this last night (finally). Supposed to be a buddy read with Sir Betrothed, but he‘s 300 pages ahead of me. 😭 No worries, I‘ll be caught up by later tonight. 💪🏽
