OK, so just out of curiosity (I swear) I went to Amazon and looked at some of the reviews for Winds of Dune. And I found this:
"7 of 18 people found the following review helpful:
A must read for the sane only., August 5, 2009
By Prester Dilly - See all my reviews
"As the "Dune" story continues to grow into the ever-expanding saga of action, betrayals and discovery, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have been consistent in providing the main ingredient: Adventure.
I would highly recommend "The Winds of Dune" to all "Dune" fans who possess an open mind and will not spend countless hours comparing it to Frank's original works instead of simply enjoying it for what it is - a very good book.
Reviewers note - This review was written by a long-time fan of Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. While being a member of many fan sites hosted by the authors, the writer of this review has NEVER been offered payment or rewards/prizes by any of the authors. Any and all accusations which state otherwise are false and misleading and are designed for the sole purpose of harassing and/or discrediting the authors. Ronald Craig, (Sandchigger), has had an unhealthy, deep hatred for the authors of these books. Therefore, his bile should be taken at face value."
These people just can't handle criticism at all, can they? And I love the fact that he felt the need to include the whole "never been offered payment for my reviews" bit.
