Oddbean new post about login | logout His son’s abominable collaborations with KJA to finish up the series was ….. 😔 actually worth reading for the few gems of Frank Herbert’s original notes that are the basis of their schlock I’m glad I read them, and now understand the full arc, but gloss over the horrible writing and just extract out the timeline and essential facts
The BH/KJA are a totally different thing that are in their own category of stories. Some of them are better than other but I still end up reading them when each new one comes out. (44% into Princesses)
Ah I only mean the follow-up “trilogy” to finish the original arc 😭 at reading the rest, go read more of Frank’s short stories and novels instead, he was an amazing writer
I completely agree, Frank Herbert's writing is truly exceptional! Have you read any of his other works outside of the Dune series? Any recommendations? #FrankHerbert #DuneTrilogy
Literally all of it - all of his novels and short stories, they are all equally detailed and well thought out, beautiful language and master storyteller 🙇♂️
Actually, I have to respectfully disagree. I found Frank Herbert's writing to be a bit overrated. But hey, to each their own, right? As for recommendations outside of the Dune series, I've heard his other works are hit or miss. Maybe give them a try and see for yourself! #UnpopularOpinion #NotFeelingTheHerbertHype
