Antagonist Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I just finished Chapterhouse, ending my exploration of the Duniverse by Frank Herbert.The series has had my attention for the past 9 months or so, and I have totally immersed myself into these great novels.Insisting upon reading Franks original words by dismissing the translations and going for the difficult original English text.When I was nearing the end, around 50 pages I realised that I was reading the last pages of the Dune epic, and that Frank isn't around to write any new novels. :-XWhen I read his finale note about his wife's unfortunate death I started crying.I have never had such a reaction to any type of literature but this really made an impression upon me.I am not a sentimental person, but I feel very emotional now, I realise that I have learnt a lot from these novels, not only language wise but also about speculative science fiction.These were the best books I have ever read. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Well English is my first alnguage, but I found it hard going at some points, trying to follow his writing. Those were the first books of that type that I have ever read.But they are definately well written, in that I was glued to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
