- The Jesus IndicentBy far, the best science fiction/fantasy book I have ever read. I have kept a copy of this one for the past twenty years to pass it on to my own kids. Fast paced, yet intellectually stimulating, The Jesus Incident makes you think about the meaning of life, and the enrichment that is possible, even through hardship and confusion. Those people that start with certainty end with doubt. Those that start with doubt end with certainty. Magic is part of life, and we are magical beings. The book encourages ... Read More

- Jesus Incident by Frank HerbertI bought it for my son in law who lives in Canada. My main concern was the shape of the book. It was in very good shape and the book arrived in a timely manner shipped to Canada.
I would buy again from Amazon!

- More gas than a hylighterThis is an extremely dull book. I found myself falling asleep consistently when reading the first 100 pages. I even started the book over to ensure that I "got it". What I "got" was a book that foundered more or less completely. This is the least focused Herbert book I have ever read. Maybe we can blame it on Bill Ransom.
