But this book just did not seem to have the strength of the other five. (  ) SendersName | Nov 11, 2009 |  This, the last real Dune book takes us to a new Dune: the former Bene Gesserit world of Chapterhouse. It's an all-out war between the Bene Gesserits and the Honored Matres, and everybody's rushing in to control spice production. 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. (  ) aethercowboy | Aug 5, 2009 | Maybe it was the time in my life when I read this book (many years ago), but I recall being very confused by and disappointed in it. 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 | 
 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.
