I had no interest in the Harkonens. I just wanted it to say with Paul and all the spice stuff.

Was hooked on the series for the first 10 or so books. Kim Harrison's Dead Witch Walking started off slow, but only took a chapter or two to hook me and now it's one of my favorite series. :)Chelly Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795244697037344432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-50726280760322957532011-10-03T12:01:17.602-05:002011-10-03T12:01:17.602-05:00I read Dune when I was a teenager, and it did star...I read Dune when I was a teenager, and it did start a little slow.

Two of my friends have read it and love it, and I like dragons. So yeah, I have no idea why I haven't gotten on this yet. Haha.<br /><br />I like the concept of this kind of book rec post. There's so much emphasis on hooky openings these days that it's nice to hear about books with slower starts that are nevertheless so worth the read. :)Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-65822444793898485712011-10-03T09:46:14.814-05:002011-10-03T09:46:14.814-05:00I agree about Room.
