DUNE THREAD

Finished reading Dune some months ago. Really enjoyed. Now about to finish Dune Messiah.. pretty meh. Not overly enjoying it so far. Are the rest of the books like this? Should I even continue with the series?

stop after god emporer of dune.
it's the last good one.

Well, they do say the best way to read the Dune saga is to read Dune and then stop.

read up to emperor, then flip to the last few chapters of chapterhouse if you want some lolclosure.

I liked Messiah quite a bit, actually, but if you don't like it, you're going to like the other books even less.
You should probably stop there.

That's what I've done and I've been rather happy with it.

Read Emperor? Good grief, no. Finish at Children of Dune and know that it's Duncan's story, then you don't have to read all that Leto III turning into a worm shit.

I liked the scope of God emperor and really tolerate every book through chapter house.. What his son did to the series after that book is a travesty.
