Wild ride and an insane end to the series. I wish Herbert had lived to complete the 7th. In some sense he has really jumped the shark in terms of the ideas getting really crazy just to use as a vehicle for his political and sociological opinions. But on the other hand there is still some really great stuff here and I think this one and Heretics are unfairly derided just for being so different compared to the previous books.
