The Dosadi Experiment Audiobook

" Could not get into this one. Painfully boring beginning. "

" This is an awesome, original story with Herbert's typically giant ideas lurking in the background. As always, leaves you hanging until the beautiful twist ending. "

" A little too esoteric for it's own good "

" This was pretty unreadable in the beginning, but somewhere around halfway through it got compelling. Kinda evens out to three stars. "

" Clever in an out there sort of way. It is too short to contain the message Herbert was trying to convey. "

" This is genuinely weird science fiction, the kind of stuff the punts one's head. If you are a SF fan and only know Frank Herbert for the Dune books, give this one a try. "

" "Given the proper leverage at the proper point, any sentient awareness may be exploded into astonishing self-understanding." "

" Die Fortsetzung von "Der letzte Caleban" "

" Just finished this sequel to the Whipping Star. A good book, but hard to follow. Herbert has some amazing ideas about science fiction, but it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep up with him. If you want to knock the cobwebs out of your noggin, this might be a good book to start with. "

" Gringada. "

" Great read, interesting plot. "

" This could have been such a great read if Herbert hadn't spent five pages on introspection for every paragraph of plot. I gave up after Herbert revealed that he was a homophobe. "

" Our hero is exploited, shown to be over confident and goes to court; with a spear. "

" He is indeed a master. "

" Jorge X. McKie--no more need be said. "

" One of Frank Herbert's best. Truly one of the best sci-fi ever written. "

" I've never been much of a fan of any of Herbert's work outside of the Dune series. I thought this would be a good book--the idea behind it is great. But it just didn't do much for me. "

" The Dosadi Experiment by Frank Herbert (2002) "

" I assume this book is a part of a series; It stands on its own, but Herbert makes several references to other books of his. That being said, I enjoyed reading "The Dosadi Experiment", but I don't really feel compelled to read any of the related books. "

" Frank Herbert really shouldn't have written anything but Dune. <br/><br/>The story was fairly interesting but his writing style makes it hard to find sometimes. Something about his phrasing just reminds me of middle school reading assignments.... "

" Wow, quite likely one of the best sci-fi books I have ever read "

" &quot;Given the proper leverage at the proper point, any sentient awareness may be exploded into astonishing self-understanding.&quot; "

" An awesome journey into the psychology of the manipulators and the manipulated. It may be about an alien species, but the reality of the implications and conjecture on the dangers of overpopulation are frighteningly real. "

" I read this Frank Herbert novel out of sequence which is perhaps why I didn't get much out of it. "

" A little too esoteric for it's own good "

" Just finished this sequel to the Whipping Star. A good book, but hard to follow. Herbert has some amazing ideas about science fiction, but it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep up with him. If you want to knock the cobwebs out of your noggin, this might be a good book to start with. "

" This is an awesome, original story with Herbert's typically giant ideas lurking in the background. As always, leaves you hanging until the beautiful twist ending. "

" A very deep book. Really, to me, more satisfying than <em>Dune</em>. Herbert makes an fascinating examination of the human condition. "

" This is genuinely weird science fiction, the kind of stuff the punts one's head. If you are a SF fan and only know Frank Herbert for the <em>Dune</em> books, give this one a try. "
