Yes, its a romantic novel but the events in it are viewed in a lot of another books and the sequels doesn't review the other part of the book. for argument about science fiction this is my mail<br />w_hsc@hotmail.comYestermorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839070608238485459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319668918847292667.post-65556452812140753142010-12-05T10:17:45.375-08:002010-12-05T10:17:45.375-08:00Heinrich Härkönen: I love this book but I think yo...Heinrich Härkönen: I love this book but I think your commentary points to the critical flaw of the story being that Herbert fell into an extreme medieval worldview, drawing a society totally devoid of meritocracy. Considering that even ancient China and Egypt were marked by a class of professionals, especially in government and the military, where a person's worth was marked by his work and skill, it strucks as bizarre the many professional positions which held no status at all in Herbert's world. Maybe this comes from too much devotion to tokenism by Herbert, but I sometimes I consider this to be a great mistake in the book. I say "sometimes" because this flaw is also what makes the book so terribly romantic, lavish and glamorous so, at the end, I'm often not so sure it's a mistake at all.<br /><br />(what would a mentor say about this? ;))))Ronronia Adramelekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139548486996143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319668918847292667.post-17502577381705193822010-12-05T10:06:36.946-08:002010-12-05T10:06:36.946-08:00I seem to recall reading the book when I was 12 mo...I seem to recall reading the book when I was 12 more o less. Horny ever since every time I think about Paul's mum, Dama Jessica, she was so unbelievable hot. But even permanently disturbed and mind wandering by her, I can see this is mainly a political novel, one about ecology, politics and human emotions. I think Herber wanted to be a great writter, one whose books were not only popular but important in a conscience moving way.Maki Sushihttp://www.ideasmx.com.mx/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ninjagaiden20181.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319668918847292667.post-34184344144897892342010-12-04T17:45:23.166-08:002010-12-04T17:45:23.166-08:00very good book.
