A review by creech
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
3.0
Pissed at this story. Was mad from the beginning, what’s the point of great writing if you hate what the author does? So lame. Once it gets moving you can get into it and cringe as you watch the car crash in slow motion.
Let’s create a character origin story and flush it as soon as we can! Lame. I’m not going to follow the trend if people pretending to be smart and explain away this horrid idea with intellectual talk of what Herbert was doing and how Paul was “supposed to be a tragic figure” and pretend the emperor (pun intended) has clothes. The reason for the 3 stars is that the writing was so good it kept me reading a story I was angry at and no interest in reading. So I can’t give it a one star.
Going to try the rest of the dune series and maybe the writing can make it palatable or maybe I’ll quit and get bored because I don’t care. We’ll see.
