Ironically, every sci-fi pundit will tell you that you shouldn't read a book in the trilogy after the first one.

- PeterStuer 6y agoAgree. I read them decades ago and while the first book is a masterpiece, the rest of the series is pretty bad.
- dunefox 6y agoThat is absolutely not true. Books 1-6 are great, especially God Emperor of Dune.
- nix23 6y ago>God Emperor of Dune Absolutely!! 2-6 draws a much bigger picture of the universe then just that one single story of book 1.
- justforyou 6y agoDepends on what your yardstick is. The existential pontifications of the main character are what most people are captivated by when they refer to God Emperor of Dune as a great book. It suffers in terms of elements that are traditionally used to judge a novel, as do all of the other books in the series. (plot, characters, etc...)
