Good Book IN AND OF ITSELF  
This book uses the Dune trademark. Yet it is not Dune--at least this is what I suspect is the case from other readers reviews. This was the first Dune book Ive ever read; therefore I am somewhat unbiased. I do not have the same expectations as others. I have heard great things about the "real" Dune books however so I am definitely looking forward to them especially because these prequel books arent half bad for what they are. In fact I couldnt put this book down until I was finished with it.

These authors slam their foot on the accelerator and never let up. The car they are driving might not be as sophisticated as a BMW much less a Lamborghini but this book is fun in the same way jumping golf carts over sandtraps is fun. If you like action prepare for a treat. I found myself saying over and over again in my head "wow this book is so over-the-top; it reads more like a comic book or a Saturday morning cartoon series than an adult novel; and most importantly--I love it!" 2010-09-16 02:44:27

F.H. it aint...a fun read nonetheless.  
yes these two clowns should have passed F.H.s notes on to any one of todays worthy authors. who knows what we would have ended up with? something brainier than this assuredly. alas the son takes the low road and this is what we have. a comic book.
if you take it for what it is then you will enjoy the read for it is fun and not nearly as heavy as the original opus. therein lies the worth of these series of novels. it has now become accessible to everyone. lets face it most of the sheep cant handle the masters original works. dune is now a cash cow and everyone can take a ride!
thats not to say these books are terrible B.H. & K.J.A just arent the intellectual juggernaut that the father was. i dont think ANYONE could have filled those shoes in precisely the same manner.
house atreides WAS a fun read however and there ARE some elements involved that were gleaned from F.H.s drafts and notes that he left behind. the read is worth it for that alone if nothing else. : 2010-09-16 02:44:27

Flat  
When I first read Dune by Frank Herbert I was lying on a beach with a stack of about 8 books that I intended to read of the next few days. On the first day I blew through 2 or 3 quite easily. On the second day I started Dune and by the second chapter I knew that I would be consumed by this book for probably the rest of my vacation. Mr. Herbert constructed an elaborate and engaging universe of unrivaled imagination in science fiction. The characters lept from the page including the very pivotal Leto Atreides Duke and leader of House Atreides. After reading Dune I sped (relatively) through the rest of the series and absolutely fell in love with the universe. I had found an equal to my already beloved Middle Earth and Star Wars universes.

So when I picked up this book the beginning of the House Trilogy I was more than excited. I had known that Brian had several works of his own already under his belt that had garnered some acclaim in the Science Fiction community. I had also : 2010-09-16 02:44:27

Good  
I read up to children of dune then decided that was a good stopping point (since the next one takes place thousands of years later) so i took a break from the original series and decided to read this one. I really enjoyed it. it was kind of nice to have a better balance of descriptions/action with dialog compared with frank herberts originals. overall very good. : 2010-09-16 02:44:27
