Hello all,
Wormrider here, LOVE the original Dune cycle. Have done for years, the scope and imagination of Frank Herberts work stunned me. I was running low on reading material, and hadnt looked at Dune for quite a while so i picked up Winds of Dune, i am about two thirds through and struggling a bit to be honest. Its not that its rubbish, its just.....bleh. nothing seems to have happened. Oh wait, Paul ran away from home *yawn* and joined a...a.......a..circus ? I dont even, i mean..a circus? Cmon! Other than that, i may as well have been staring at a piece of cardboard because nothing of any note or importance seems to have transpired. Or did i just miss it? Wheres the intrigue, wheres the politics, wheres the memorable characters ? And i dont mean the ones that Frank Herbert created. I think im going to finish this book, and then re read the originals from thei start. Anyway rant over, im a bit of a newbie at forums so i tend to just lurk and watch. If youll have me.
