I made myself to read it again, because so many people I respect love it, so I wanted to understand what it is that make them love the book. I worked really hard, but I still gave up after few more pages. I just couldn't make myself to read it...

This book changed my views about M. Gandhi ji, now I respect him more than I used to do.
I heard that "The Making of the Mahatma" by Shayam Benegal is based on the mention novel.

Nice list. Dune is probably my favourite there. Does anyone else find the prequels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson to be pretty awful and suspect that their Dune sequels will be similarly bad? Given that Frank Herbert never properly finished the Dune series, I'm intrigued to see how it will all finish, but the prequels were so bad that I'm not sure I want to read their version of how it all ends. I'm betting that they bend the story to make their Omnius idea more important than whatever Frank Herbert actually had in mind.Originally posted by Bear Bibeault:

A few years back I borrowed another Kevin Anderson book from the library and it had almost exactly the same writing style as the Dune prequels (some nice ideas, but clich�d, simplistic and no character development) which makes me think that the Dune prequels are pretty much written by him. It seems he's just cashing in on the "Dune" name to make a bit of money.Originally posted by Jim Yingst:
Dave, I never read any of the posthumous Dune books myself. I have yet to hear anything good about them that would imply they have any real connection to Frank Herbert's actual work.

No, you are absolutely correct: she's a terrible writer.
