5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read but much more, Jan 12 2004
By In Search of Value (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dosadi Experiment (Mass Market Paperback)
It's rare to find a book that combines such complex ideas with such an engaging story. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Now that I've finished I continue to ponder the ideas expressed in the book.
Dosadi explores some of the same issues of power that Herbert explored in the Dune series. The futuristic world he created isn't as detailed as Dune, but I came to really care about the characters in Dosadi despite the fact that they aren't as well developed. On one level it is a fun page turner but the underlying, though provoking questions it raises makes the book truly interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fiction, Dec 4 2002
By Tacco Coole (Kirkland, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dosadi Experiment (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a pleasant surprise, as it was my first Frank Herbert read outside of the Dune series. I really enjoyed the tale, and like many of his stories, the second half is the best. The Dosadi culture was very intriguing and still keeps me thinking; the Gowachin were also interesting. Herbert's recurring interest in human potential and societal pressures is again pushed to extremes, produces a provocative and entertaining book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite "non-Dune" Herbert novels, Sep 27 2002
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Dosadi Experiment (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes, Frank Herbert wrote other novels than the "Dune" series. Of these, "The Dosadi Experiment" is by far one of the best.

Dosadi is an artificially populated planet with a dark, dark secret. Jorg X. McKie, who was introduced in a companion novel "Whipping Star" is sent to investigate the goings-on on Dosadi, an assignment that could very well lead to his destruction.

Dosadi is a toxic planet, where survivors live either in an overpopulated fortress of a city and survive on their wits, or struggle to live on the poisonous Rim, where the very soil and plants are enemies. The people of Dosadi are tough indeed, but they are a lot more than just tough survivors. They hold a desperate secret that could upset the balance of the rest of the galaxy.

McKie's struggle to survive and to discover Dosadi's secrets make for a really exciting tale. The characters are vivid, creative (all kinds of sentient species) and very interesting. If you love good science fiction, this is a must-read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read
This book is totally intriguing from the start. The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that the plot can be a bit hard to grasp at times.

2.0 out of 5 stars Gone astray...
Poor Mr Herbert. How far are the times of "Dune"...
This novel is based on a paper-thin plot, with an insufficient character development, an excruciatingly slow pace... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Herbert's Best, which says a whole lot
Frank Herbert deserves his rep as one of the greatest science fiction writers. Dune, his most popular book (with 2 film adaptations) is an incredible epic. Read more
