Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “This book is easily the best book in the Dune series (only the first can compete; and that is because it sets up the world). The setting is a quantum leap from the first one; there is virtually no connection to the petty feuding world of Dune, with the intense Fremen and their intense...” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “Nope still no where near the original - struggled through this one. Some parts showed the old brilliance but the flashes of brilliance were so few and far between it was not worth it in the end.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“A true classic. Frank Herbert's Dune series is one of the most amazing and enduring of the sci-fi world. While there are anti homosexual undertones his over all message of eco conscientiousness quickly overshadows it without being preachy. I'm also a fan of his rich writing style especially as it pertains to his female characters. They always seem to be a driving force in his books.

“As I've been recommended, a decent place to stop in the Dune series. The first half is intriguing, following the intrigues of Leto II and his wisdom dispensed to his advisors. The second half of the book meanders towards the conclusion and attempts to dissect the god-like figure but ends up mediocre.”

“The first time I read this it took me forever to get through it. After I went through and read the prequels, all the subtle meanings and sayings were that much more interesting. I blasted through it the 2nd time.”
