If you've read only the first book, you've only read the prelude to what people love.
However, considering what you recommend, I doubt it would be something you'd enjoy.
- WalterBright 3y agoI do have all the books, but never started reading the sequels.
- Krasnol 3y agoI wouldn't consider them just "sequels" of the first one. As I said, the first book introduces the world. The story itself spans over an immense time. I was only talking about the books written by Frank Herbert btw.
- WalterBright 3y agoI don't know if you've convinced me to read them, but thanks for the telling me something I didn't know.
- Krasnol 3y agoActually, I didn't want to convince you to read them. It was the opposite. I don't think you'd like it based upon your recommendations above.
- aidenn0 3y agoNot GP, but I think I made it to about 20 pages into the third book before giving up. I actually enjoyed the first book, but it just got more ponderous as it went on. And this was around the same time I read the Foundation series by Asimov, so I didn't necessarily need at pot-boiler.
- Krasnol 3y agoI'm not sure if one of us misunderstood "pot-boiler" but Dune is surely no popcorn entertainment. It felt ponderous because its author invests much time into the development of characters, philosophy and politics. It's not for everybody, but it surely is not a pot-boiler.
