Great. Now I have to actually READ the book.

RH is watching us, people do not embarrass mobileread!
If you don't like it, do please say so. Be as brutal as you like -- I'm used to criticism. And if you start it and don't want to finish, that's fine too. There are too many good books in the world to waste time on one you don't get on with.

Absolutely. I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

And, like Jon with "A Passage to India", if I can finish "Dune", I can read this one.

Please don't take anything I say personally. Sometimes my mouth runs away with my brain.

And the dish ran away with the spoon...

Looking forward to having the author involved with the discussion. I'm not sure that Andre was participating, though...

If she was, it's a bona fide miracle as she's been dead for a couple of years now.

OK, I've downloaded it and read the first few pages. It looks like a page-turner, very intriguing opening. Leave me alone, I'm reading....
