There seems to be a group of Dune fanboys who have taken over the Amazon listings too. Like you, I don't dislike the newer books. They're interesting, fun reads and I have yet to feel ripped off or somesuch. Frankly I think maybe only 3 of Herbert's original books were worth a damn as it is, I certainly don't see him as some untouchable master.
