As a social worker, this book immediately caught my attention. I wanted to read it to understand what goes through the mind of a foster child, and what drives them to either fail or succeed. Mr. Fisher captured both ends of the spectrum in his remarkable book, with his observations of his foster siblings and his own insight into his problems. The book re-inspired me to always talk with "my kids" about their choices, their future, and most importantly what is going on in their foster home placements. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with children.

I thought that this novel sets the scene to Dune very well and that the characters seem to portray the story and the history of the rest of the Dune novels in every realistic setting , This is a well deserved prequel and sets the context of the Dune series in which I am proud to say that I own this copy . If you have read the rest of the Dune series then you would have to agree that the characters in this novel tend to follow on from the original Dune book in particular Thufir Hawat and that he hasn't changed other than the fact he might be younger i think? However the only bone that i have to pick is why isn't Gurney Halleck in this prequel maybe he isn't born yet , But in the first novel he remembers the old Duke Pualus strange that he is not in this novel , Well hopefully he would be in the next novel House Harkonen

This book should not be missed. I confess I am not much more than a 'buy a book when travelling' type of reader, but even so that still means half a dozen books a year or so.
I felt I was there I could see the hills, the olive trees, the bridge, the river, the sheep, and now I really want to meet Domingo. I could taste the food smell the wines. I take my hat off to Mr Chris Stewart for producing a book that is to date the most enjoyable book I have ever read.
