Ultra-condensed story of the Dune books:
1. Dune
Frank Herbert: I'm lots smarter than you are. I challenge you to understand even one of my paragraphs!
Reader: Gee, Frank Herbert is smart. I can't even find the plot.
2. Dune Messiah
Everyone: We're absurdly over-intelligent with identical personalities.
(The Conspirators do some mysterious conspiracy stuff.)
Muad'Dib: Now that I have two children which need my support and care, I'll wander off into the desert and die for no particular reason.
Everyone: Wahh.
3. Children of Dune
(People do stuff that is OUT OF CHARACTER. People do stuff that makes NO SENSE. Cool arabic-type words and names are said, making Frank Herbert look SMART and COOL.)
4. God Emperor of Dune
Leto II: Infinity.
Reader: Ouch, my head just exploded.

Hei, pirmaas divas graamatas bija super! Tur bija labs, skaidri samudzhinaats plots. Izlasot taas gramaatas otrreiz mieriigi vareeju iebraukt kas ko kapeec :) un lieliska atmosfeera, un episki piedziivojumi!
Bet nu logjiski, ka tur visi chari bija uzkachaajushi savu inteligjenci (vai taa bija kachaajusies gjeneetiski), jo datori ta bija aizliegti.
Peec tam gan viss made a turn for the worse... man kkaa likaas, ka nabaga Frenks, rakstot to seeriju, sirga ar kaadu progreseejoshu smadzenju slimiibu :(

Viņš vienkārši aizmirsa, ka runa ir par literatūru, nevis wannabe-inteliģentām sociāli-politiskajām alegorijām.
Ņemot vērā, ka kā rakstnieks puisis bija salīdzinoši viduvējs, šāda kļūda izrādījās liktenīga. Tas, ka ir ko teikt, protams, ir kruta, bet literatūrā ir svarīgi kā tu to pasaki.
