Book Reviews of Sandworms of Dune
Book Review: Intriguing.
Summary: 5 Stars
A good effort to continue the story. I was particularly pleased to see so much character development for Yueh, whom I've always felt deserved a little compassion and a chance for retribution.Book Review: Is that a sandworm in your pocket? Or is it DOON III?
Summary: 2 Stars
Or just another B. Herbert- KJA bomb? I have to give them props, they really tried hard...to make the longest most dragging high expectations in two books that I almost thought this book was going somewhere. It almost does. Where it fails miserably, is that the lucky charms leprechaun comes in at the end, saves the day, and everybody lives happily ever after. Of course, I'm being facetious, but the climax was almost that simple. There I was, eagerly anticipating a real battle, only for a POOF magical solution in the end. A lot of this book seems like a Dune parody, especially as the Baron H seems more like a villain out of Scooby Doo than the wickedly evil persona we all know and hate. Some questions are answered in here, like what Leto II's golden path was, although not very clearly. Neither is the purpose of bringing the Jews out of hiding, there really isn't a reason to put them in the story. Weaker yet, is Murbella's role, especially in her thinking that she is solely responsible for saving the human race, her character was completely destroyed by these guys. The issue with axlotl tanks, never resolved.Thanks for wasting my time and money. Even after lowering my expectations as much as possible, I still found disappointment. I don't hold the original Dune series sacred, but the climax of this book is its lowpoint. I'll be sure never to read another one of the Herbert-Anderson DOON collaborations.Book Review: It's a rerun of previous books....

Gholas to the left, Gholas to the right...this book could have been phoned in and probably was. When the franchise is over, it's over....library this book....it added nothing to the mythology at all.Book Review: It's not that bad
Summary: 4 Stars
when I got 20 pages into House Harkonen after sitting through the House Atreides on Tape during a really long drive, I threw it in the trash becasue it read more like fan fiction than something from Frank Herbert's Universe.
But After reading all the original Dune books, I couldn't resist Hunters of Dune. Wich I thought was alright, so I went and read the Butlerian Jihad Books, Wich were entertaining. So Now that I finished Sandworms of Dune, I can honestly say, It's not Frank Herbert But it is a fun read, and you get to see alot of your favorite charcters again. So to me that was worth it. and I think it does tie everything up nicely.
I also change shape.
Book Review: MUST READ THIS BOOK
