Justin read this whole series recently and enjoyed it enough to kindle an interest in rereading Dune and maybe following through with the rest of the series this time. I read Dune in college and thought it was pretty good. Rereading it now, it's obvious that I had forgotten the majority of the book.
To a certain extent, I'm not sure how interesting a book can be in the characters can see the future. Predestination takes a lot of surprise out of the plot and seems like an excuse for all kinds of plot holes. Still, enjoyable and maybe I'll read the rest of the series. Good adventure.
