Dune novels bad ? Pardon ? WHICH Dune novels ? The original few by Frank Herbert, or the many others in the "expanded universe" ?
Originals are superb, expanded universe, I only ended up liking Butlerian Jihad for background completionism ,rest were kinda ok ... the Revered Mothers versus Honored Matres portrayed wars were fun, I must admit, but sex with genetically engineered furries was too much.
As a sidenote I am waiting for the whole series to be on torrent in hd from beginning to end so I can watch in a couple weeks like I did with BSG. I hate this cliffhanger crap, which I learned to loathe when I watched the batman tv series, I wanted to see what happened to BATMAN man! making me wait days or weeks was awful.
That crap traumatizes children you know? Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

No offense intended, but I feel like every American novel I pickup the author has the TV/Film adaptation in mind and writes the characters and their actions in this way. Same with Honor Harrington, characters with a habit or an action for a visual cue with the camera more than character development. Yeah, but I don't think the TV/film adaptation part is premeditated. It's just a lot of us have become only semi-literate in the past few years. We learn more about storytelling from Hollywood and TV than from the printed word. An SF or fantasy book is just a movie that's written out in language format. |

What's a TV? Sounds like something you catch after a very good night in certain parts of Thailand. But I have heard you can watch shows while on the computer itself. And if you need a hookup, "I know a guy". Are you an Industrialist who uses large amounts of Construction Components? Looking for ways to reduce costs?

Everything after the first book, Dune, is on a scale from terrible to worse. Going from a decent space-opera in the first book to a weird metaphysical tale that just gets weirder and worse with each book that follows.
As bad as David Lynch's Dune is, it is good in comparison to the books. I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more. |
