Very interesting books, the author has thought about absolutely everything… It’s amazing! I read some of it, but not all. I so the film too, but the history is too long to be told, so the film didn’t really make sense. Interesting thou.

I stopped at the 4th book. All the politics and religious bantering got to me...

I stopped at about half of the fourth book too.

I absolutely loved the first three though.

It's been quite a few years since I read those. Maybe I'll give the last ones a try. It might give me a break from the Acoustics book I'm getting for christmas.

five and six are very slow all devoted to to the benejesrit. sipping tea, sitting in chair dogs, idaho gholas and no ships.

Actually I rather enjoyed the possibilities that the 'scattering' brought, and the very end of book 6 ("He can see us now") was a horrible HORRIBLE tease since Frank's other books were incomplete (and caused my family infighting from what I heard). I enjoyed all 6, though I haven't read them since I was a young teenager.
