          <body><![CDATA[Pretty good.  I highly recommend it to a Dune reader.  I don't remember much about Dune Messiah except that it seemed like the original series jumped from Paul being a savior to a tyrant and then he disappeared.  This book presents some interesting ideas with regards to the other Dune characters.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71336765">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Basically I found I don't like sci-fi fantasy type books.  Gene Wolfe may appeal to some readers but I found him to be too wordy and long-winded.  It was like when you are watching tv and so many commercials come on you forget what it was you were watching.  It wasn't painful but maybe it would tran...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49229634">more...</a>]]></body>

I liked the action and the ties to places and events during that time period.
