A good read  
House Harkonnen tells the story of obviously House Harkonnen. But also included are the stories of Gurney and the Atreides feud.

The characters are brutish enough that youll hate them but thats a tribute to the books good writing and characterization. At times the book gets a little bit long winded but some judicial scanning will let you bypass these bits without much trouble - and you wont have to skip much of the book.

If youre a fan of the original Dune series this is probably worth your time. If not then this may be a good introduction to the book. : 2010-09-16 01:46:36

Another Great Piece of the Puzzle  
Dont let the title fool you: The driving force of this novel is not House Harkonnen but Duke Leto House Atreides and those loyal (and disloyal) to them. If youve gotten to this point youve presumably read the six original Dune novels by Frank Herbert as well as the first House book. I have found a pattern from the third Dune novel through this one where the books begin and end extremely strongly but have a tendency to drag a bit in the middle. They are all rather long novels (this ones 733 pages) and are very very detailed which is part of the appeal but can also slow the pace at times. Its worth the effort though. I have been extremely satisfied with these prequel novels. The universe of Dune has been kept alive in brilliant fashion. If you liked Dune: House Atreides Im sure youll like House Harkonen just as much. : 2010-09-16 01:46:36

Great Tale Well Told Epic Scale Historically Full  
To all who find fault with this book - bah humbug!

I found the storylines engrossing well-written well paced and fascinating. I am going to start on "House Corrino" after I write this quick review mostly becaue of the excellent beginning in "House Atreides" and the superior follow-up in "House Harkonnen." The well thought out progress of converging characters and their plotlines and the exciting climax of each thread added up to an inspired finish and felt just right leaving me eager to see how the next book would set up the original story in "Dune."

For all fans who are not critics you will love this book. For all critics who may or may not be fans well when have you ever truly enjoyed anything?

Set aside your judgement and get this book - used ones are available on Amazon for $.01 cent! There is no better investment in our current economy. : 2010-09-16 01:46:36

Disappointing  
I expected this book to tell the history of House Harkonnen; instead I got a collection of rather uninspired boring short stories about the backgrounds of the key members of the Atreides household (and learned how "Beast" Rabban came by his nickname). : 2010-09-16 01:46:36
