Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 In the novel House Harkonnen, how come there is more about Atreides than Harkonnen since the book is called House Harkonnen.I bought the book because I thought that it would tell much about House Harkonnen.

el_d00d Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 they're all like 33% Atreides, 33% Corrino and 33% Harkonnen, I think they only named the books like that so they would sell better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 Yeah right, 33% Corrino? It is more like 5% Corrino and 20% Vernius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_carl Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Does it matter? It's a great book that talks of all the great houses! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 When it is about Harkonnen it must to be about their worst enemy too. And in House Atreides is too a lot about Harks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Gunseng's right!In both of the novels there are info about the Great Houses and other stuff too. I think the authors named these books HA and HH because they contain the partial story of HA and HH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 Well, I haven't read House Atreides, but I intend too soon, after finsihing Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Its not the same, I mean not real Dune, but Brian did good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Are the house books good to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Yes they're quite good.But Gunseng's right again: it's not like the original Frank Herbert-styled Dune. It was more complex I think. HA and HH (and late on HC) was created to answer all the questions about the prequels to Dune. (at least this is what I think ;D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 I have read about 50 pages in Dune, and till now I think that HH is better than Dune, but that might be because I like the house Harkonnen better.But I will perhaps change my mind when I have read the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel_Worf Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I'm only working my way through the second one, but the first one was mostly a Atreides/Vernius, while this one has a lot more Harkonnen stuff in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Colonel_Worf: and how do you like them? And which do you like better: FH's Dune of the prequels?el_d00d: I think you should respect people's personal opinion about anything. ;D(I personally like Dune better than the prequels.) /But don't take this offensive ;)/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 How do I like them? Well, I really like Dune and Children of Dune. Dune Messiah was okay. As for the prequels, I think they are excellent. I read them very quickly, and I will be reading House Corrino when it comes to paperback. And next is the Legends of Dune trilogy. :) I may even buy those in hardcover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Well, until now only HA and HH was published and HC not....(I mean in Hungary) They were all hard-covered and I bought them no matter the money!! ;D(Amd each costed about $9 only!!! ;D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I prefer first three parts of Dune best but I like prequels more than heretics and chapterhouse. Not becouse its better wrote but becouse its real Dune like better. And Harkonnen are still there.I can`t but nowhere House Corrino too :-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 20, 2002 Author Share Posted April 20, 2002 9$ is the same price I bought HH for too. But I think it should be cheaper. 9$ is too much. Anyway, I bought the pocket version, so that's something else. And it was in english! It took me quite a while to read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Heh! I have the 1st 4 Dune books in English HA and HH in Hungarian. The Dune books are normal books but the prequels are hard-covered and the were the same price... ;)Yes it's hard to read it in English... (Thorup: where are u from?)

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Well, if only I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 I'm from Norway. And I don't have the opportunity to read the books in norwegian, cos they're not translated. But it could have been worse, what if I had the grade F in english! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 They are not translated to Norvegian?? :P Shame on them! ;D This sucks! I feel luckyer (or luckier I dunno) every day! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 I forgot to mention that Dune part 1 and 2 is translated into norwegian. But no other books. I read through HH in english and have started on Messiah now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
