nampigai Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I like all the books and I think that Frank Herbert made the best Books in history, they have it all, my favorit(s) is the two last books and I don't find any of the books boring, I do however find the prequels a bit "childish" they aren't as well written and complex as Franks. but they have their own charm.

Nefud Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 You speak my lanuage NaMpIgAi!! ;D I exactly have the same opinion about FH's novels and the prequels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Yes, Brian wrote something more adventurous than Frank`s dune book. Frank made book incuded philosophy, humans problems and ecology. But I think Herbert did something that nobody wrote for all this time and its most profound book I read.But I still like prequels more than last two parts.

Alexander_Ordos Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Gun speaks in my language ;D ;D Though I think there'r 2 books in history - Dune & Lord of the Rings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Lord of the Rings...its something so much different...I read first part and if I should be honest, it doesn`t as good as I thought. But book is better than movie. I`m going to read the second one now, I don`t say its not good, I had to use to these hobbits and other fairytail stuff. But Dune is still best book that have been written since now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Really...I think Aragorn is preety good. And Peregrin Tuk is funny.But Dune!! No Lord of the Rings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I'd say about LoR that it's pretty good, and the only fantastic-kinda book which could challenge Dune. But I think Dune's still better... ;DAnd yes yes, back to the topic! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander_Ordos Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 We'll have to wait together Gun, cause my Dune book access lies in Germany ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I haven`t House Corrino yet. Maybe it is somewhere in my country but I didn`t saw it anywhere. When they are so good for Dune fans I don`t really wait now for those books. I have vision it will be in 2 years (maybe too long :D).

nampigai Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 They will publish a new book each year for four years so that could make some new Dunefans ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I found CoD onwards very boring. I would just read Dune and Dune Messiah if you don't have patience.I WAS WRONG. Once you get past the first two thirds it gets real interesting. But Already GEoD seams lacking in depth. It was better books as a desert planet.Can I ask how does a SandTrout become a Sandworm?
