I can't even tell you what it was about as I purged the information almost as soon as I closed the book.
Much more readable is National Lampoon's parody novel
Doon, in which Pall Agamemnides and his family are forced to leave their homeworld of Cowboydan for the dessert planet Arruckus, where Pall fulfills his destiny as the Kumquat Haagen-Dazs ('he who can bring many dishes to completion at once').

Herbert makes it clear that Paul's visions were alternate timelines, to be chosen or avoided. Not sure what's so hard about that.
