I stopped reading Dune: House Atreides a few weeks ago, it was absolutely dreadful. I made it through about half of the book before I just decided to put it down and walk away. Let me try to sell it to ya:
Frank Herbert’s son teamed up with a crappy Star Wars book author to write a Dune prequel in which they expose all of the mysteries that made Dune so great...
I KNEW this book was going to be bad, but I honestly didn't think it'd be THIS bad. In my defense, I really didn’t have much selection in the English used book store in Takadanobaba...
