I've read the first six. Rereading, I stopped at God Emperor.
I tell people who are thinking about reading it that if they found Dune to be slow and difficult that they should just stop at the first one. It's a lot of world building and politics as it goes on.
- Radim 12y agoThis is much better advice than the grandparent. Indeed, if you found Dune too difficult and political and expansive, don't go for God Emperor of Dune. But if you do like that sort of stuff, someone telling you to stop at Dune would be criminal. God Emperor is easily the best in the series, IMO.
- jinfiesto 12y agoI agree. The best part of the series in my opinion, is the political machination. God Emperor probably has the most of that. Messiah is probably the weakest novel in the set in my opinion.
- babuskov 12y agoI found that I like the politics more than the sci-fi part of it. I believe the politics made the series that good. Just like in Game of Thrones, where politics is more important than the fantastic creatures or magic.
