Worse than I thought

Well, I started.

I just finished the first chapter of PoD and fear it's going to take me a while to finish, which is unusual for me to put down a book so quickly. It is completely uninspiring and I found myself losing interest after a few pages. Oh well, I won't be getting my notes up tomorrow as I'd hoped. At this pace I'll be lucky if I can finish it in the next week.

I thought I'd at least get into bashing it while taking notes. I'm just not in the right mood. I can't believe that anyone would say that this is their best work yet. I'll keep you posted.

I may just go read one of the new Star Wars books instead.

most are by Karen Traviss, who by all accounts is as bad or worse than KJA. She also is the coiner of the term "talifan".

Stick with PoD. I'm reading it because after this, it will be impossible to read a crappier book. You know, until Jessica comes out.

I love reading their squirming replies to the OH community.

on PoD

I fear for what might happen to my insanity after reading PoD

I fear for your sanity now! :wink:

If you read PoD, do it in a padded cell in a straight jacket. :lol:

I'm looking at setting aside most of this coming Sunday for reading and slashing it.

Good Times....NOT. :twisted:

Dare I read the young paul sections? from page turning and the hints they give they sound like garbage. Paul gets attacked by giant catapillars...

WTF is up with Kevin's super-weapon/monster fetish. Maybe if we promise to buy him one of those mechanical dildo's and a bunch of hentai he'll agree to leave Dune alone.

Um, that will probably only fuel his desire.

Let's call it "throughput."

I'm 33 pages in and already have plenty to comment on. I'm thinking I might just do the whole thing in 5 installments as this might take me longer to read than "Race for God". :roll:

How about seven intallments, one for each section of the book? ;)

(In this case, "installment" refers to your metaphysical location while reading: in the shitter.)

I actually did consider only reading it in the bathroom just because that's where it belongs. :lol:

I like my bathroom clean though.
