acbishop 's review for:
God Emporer of Dune
by Frank Herbert, Frank Herbert
6/10
There were parts of this book that I enjoyed, but I had a hard time with most of it. The plot moves along really slowly, and then a lot of stuff happens all at once in a way that I had a hard time seeing as truly climactic. This book presents a lot of questions and doesn't answer a lot of them. Leito is supposed to be a god emperor, but he isn't really presented as one in the book. We read of the control he has, but it's hard to imagine how he maintains control of his empire based on his behavior in this book. There's a weird focus on sex throughout this book that I had a hard time seeing the reason for. I did enjoy some of the philosophical discussion.
