[Hara Ra]

Well, the original Dune was well written, sparse on words, rich of 
implications. The sequels he wrote were much less interesting, and the 
interminable prequels done by his son and such have IMO spiraled into the 
MEGO zone. I finally quit reading the last one (Battle of Corrin) because 
each chapter about put me to sleep, and the whole set of Sci-Fi cliches 
along with a really stupid and cruel pov is just too much. M'aud Dib I 
suspect would agree.
