I got 50ish pages into 'Children of Dune' and absolutely hated it. I
thought that Dune and CoD were written by two completely different people.
Then I went and read Foundation all over again and thought that this would
make a great mini-series.
But then again, I just finished DragonLance, and am now inspired to re-read
Eddings...
