Read the first book. Is it worth to continue with this saga? I've heard that basically the rest of the books are trash.

Read up until God Emperor.
Jesus Christ dude, you really won't regret it. This fucking series is a roller coaster of awesome, as reddit as that sounds to say.
The characters and universe just get more and more interesting as it goes along. Dune really is like Star Wars only for not-retarded people.

It's hard to describe without spoiling anything but Dune can be likened to travelling up a mountain with book 4 being considered the peak and then5&6 going down the mountain

/spoiler the story feels really different from the other 4 parts with a focus on completely different characters from a different faction.

I gave up early into book 5 because I didn't find it interesting so I consider the story to end at 4

There's a faction of women that use their sexy vagina powers to mind control people, a guy gets time slow down powers and uses it to kill everyone in a split second, a little girl can control the worms etc. I haven't bothered with the 6th book after the 5th.

It reminds you that it's a scifi series.

I haven't read foundation since I was like 13, but I remember it being pretty good, is it really trash?

If you read science fiction for the prose then probably.

Thanks for making this thread. I just finished the book yesterday and was wondering the same. I think I'll give #2 a shot.

>recommended for everyone who read Dune and knew they weren't in it for the long run
I think it's a little pretentious calling anyone who finished a thousand page science fiction novel and decided they want more isn't "in for the long run".
