4.0 out of 5 stars To clear up the confusion, December 10, 2003

By A Customer

Some are confuded about the references some of these reveiws have to Mormonism. This book does not discuss Mormonism, the book that they are refering to is a book by Ed Decker and Dave Hunt which has the same title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable, September 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Godmakers (Mass Market Paperback)

I just recently completed this one, even though it sat on my shelf for siz years after buying it. The individual episodes all seem to be fertile material for entire books. Instead, the reader is shown glimpses of fascinating alien worlds only to be whisked to the next scene. All in all, I found it very fun to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pity it wasn't longer, July 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Godmakers (Mass Market Paperback)

if you like dune you will probably enjoy this. it is a great pity that it isn't much , much longer. i think fh had the chance of another epic but decided to leave it at that. as is usual in a fh book he gives us a view of modern day life seen either in the future or in an alternative reality. again he uses arab/islamic references in his book, and his hero is both intelligent and amusing. a good read at any time.

I am a huge Frank Herbert fan, and although I enjoyed the book, too much was left unexplained, both the 'technology' (?) and character motivations (what is psi, exactly???). Read more
