Dune is fantastic, one of my favorites. The first book is GOATed. Second book is very good too. Third book is where things get kind of weird. I'd recommend if you actually do decide to read the series, at least go up to the fourth book, God Emperor of Dune is phenomenal and arguably as good if not better than the first installment. The last two books of the series are hard for me to form an opinion on. I enjoyed reading them somewhat but I have to admit they don't feel quite as well rounded as my favorites of the series. Still good, just weak in some areas. 3, 5, and 6 are definitely the weaker installments. Honestly someone getting into Dune could just read up to four and they'd have read like 90 percent of everything worthwhile. And like everyone else I have never touched his son's extended universe and have no plans to.
