"This is better than Dune. Really. While Dune is an epic story in Messiah-form, Dosadi Experiment can be Earth (if not for space exploration). Concentrated in smaller scenes and with fewer characters, Herbert has succeeded in fully developing his characters and expanding the Courtarena properly. I am now a firm believer in Gowachin Law: Justice cannot be obtained if all the participants are not risking their lives. The small collection of species and the fantastic conclusion only confirmed this book's, place in my 're-read' collection. Kudos Herbert, Dune is outdone."

" Could not get into this one. Painfully boring beginning. "
— Tony, 2/18/2014" 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. "
— Tobin, 2/14/2014" A little too esoteric for it's own good "
— Kwesi, 2/9/2014" This was pretty unreadable in the beginning, but somewhere around halfway through it got compelling. Kinda evens out to three stars. "
— Emu, 2/2/2014" Clever in an out there sort of way. It is too short to contain the message Herbert was trying to convey. "
— Jeremiah, 1/12/2014" 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. "
— Xenophon, 1/7/2014" "Given the proper leverage at the proper point, any sentient awareness may be exploded into astonishing self-understanding." "
— Falbs, 1/4/2014" Die Fortsetzung von "Der letzte Caleban" "
— Joerg, 8/8/2013" 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. "
— Jack, 8/4/2013" Gringada. "
