A review by bookwomble
The Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
3.0
Something of a disappointment, to say the least, when compared with the original Dune saga by Frank Herbert. There is little of Herbert Snr.'s subtlety and complexity here, and it really does seem to be more of a cashing in on the affection in which the original books are held.
That said, it is a workmanlike space opera which is fine as a book to take to the beach: read it, donate it to a charity book shop. (And yet I have kept my copy - damn you, OCD hoarding disorder!)
19/09/10: Need more space on the bookshelf, so this book and I have finally parted company. It's a moment of personal growth!
