The start was rather long winded, but interesting enough to keep me going. In comparison the end felt rushed and did not bring any great surprises. Perhaps this would have been better as a short story.
One of the more challenging yet intriguing stories of Frank Herbert. A sequel to Destination Void finds the descendants of the voidship Earthling and the Ship itself on the planet Pandora scraping out an existence. I think my challenges come from there being too many similar characters and some confusion over what drives them.
2nd book in Pandora series. Better than Destination Void, but still quite short of his best work. Again, if you liked Dune series all the way to the end, you'll probably like this. (I did)
Very slow start even slower midle. This is expect since its the 1st book of the series, nevertheless mostly boring. Giving a 3 because the plot thickenned in the end.
I found the book a rather complicated story. It's definetely worth reading but to me it seems at a lower level than Dune. I will continue with the following books in the series to get a better opinion.
After the events setup in Destination:Void, The Jesus Incident switches from a discussion of "What is consciousness?" to "What/Who is worthy of our worship?" Struggling to survive on the planet Pandora, the human colony finds itself detailing with powers and influences old and new.
No tengo ni idea de cómo evaluar este compendio desordenado de ideas. Este libro es una mezcolanza de paranoias y pensamientos, lo definiré de otra manera más simple, unas veces dices guau!! Y la mayoría de veces dices buah! .
Lo que si me di cuenta es que de este libro es que coge múltiples ideas de Dune, y me da que sirvió de caldo de cultivo a su hijo para los libros de la precuela de Dune.
Weird pace, not sure I got it all. Ellipsis aplenty. I'm fine with that when I get to understand things but here they're just absent. Could have been more. Also, too many curses.
Maybe not for all: but my 2nd fav from F. Herbert! Why? It’s dreamy: the poet, the Avata kelp, the highlighters glowing above. It’s bizarre: the horrors of Pandora. And sinister: the Chaplain-Psychiatrist. I’d recommend it as great Science fiction, nothing epic or space opera scale, but localized to a harsh planet Pandora, vivid people, dire predicaments.
I read this as a teenager with the thought that I wasn't getting it all because I as too young. Now having read it as an adult I can see that there was a certain amount of science/philosophy babel that was foundation less. Having said that I did enjoy this book quite a bit.. even if Herbert always makes me feel a bit bad about humanity.
