It's possible it will improve upon a revisit...of course, that means buying the entire series again -- I just can't bring myself to read them out of order. (  ) avanta7 | Apr 25, 2009 | It has been some time since I last read the dune books, but I loved the saga, Think it is time to re-read them. A true classic! (  ) Tcubed | Feb 21, 2009 | Deep, deep philosophy. So deep that it makes pleasure reading difficult. If you enjoy this, read Dosadi Experiment. (  ) santhony | Sep 29, 2008 | Probably the hardest book of the series for me to read. I keep trying. One of these days, I'll finish it and understand what the hell it's about!

 Chapterhouse: Dune is a worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series... Against all odds, the universe of Dune keeps getting richer in texture, more challenging in its moral dilemmas. The only way to appreciate Mr. Herbert's achievement is to start with the first book and work your way through, so that when one character says, ''I love you too much, Murbella. That's my Agony,'' you will get the full, shuddery import of that capital A.
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0441102670, Paperback)The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's powers, have colonized a green world and are turning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile. In this, the final book in the Dune Chronicles, Herbert again creates a world of breathtakingly evolved characters and the contexts in which to appreciate them. The richness of detail and perspective fascinates, while the multi-layered plot evolves as pages turn. Riveting from end to end, the legend lives on in the greatest science fiction epic of all time." Impressive...the whole saga will be one of the monuments of modern science fiction." (Chicago Sun Times) (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:04 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

Did I mention that the Jews, after going into hiding for some millennia, have emerged to become power players in the universe?
What ends in a very cryptic cliffhanger is the last good book written with the word "Dune" in the title. (
