It's well-written. All 6 books are well-written. IMO the later novels are every bit as good as the earlier novels. (We shall not discuss the son's unfortunate knockoffs.) I suspect some readers were disappointed with books 2 and 3 because the story didn't go the way they wanted. But that's because the sly devil Frank was teaching us a lesson. :-)
- jfengel 6y agoThanks for the recommendation. I will take a crack at it. It's a little surprising to me that readers would be demanding what they expect from the books. The whole point of Dune is that politics is a multi-layered process of wheels within wheels within wheels. It should come as no surprise that everything would turn out to be a head fake -- that's so much of the enjoyment of it.
