I think everyone shoud decide for themselves, so by all means read them. Jayne - There's always a different point of view and I can respect that. For me though, I'll stick to the canon that Frank wrote. TheBluesButterfly - I’ve never read any of his other work, just the additional Dune books.

I think the books were all wonderful. I enjoyed the new characters and felt fully immersed in this "new" side of Dune. I have read all of the prequel books and went right into Frank Herbert's books from there. As I did with the Dune books (reading them several times) I will do the same with Brian's.

He is actually the writer of these books from what I understand &amp; Brian Herbert just lent his techinical expertise of his father's style....or something like that. I have heard mixed reviews of these books &amp; thus will have to read them to form an opinion myself. Do you like Kevin Anderson’s writing then???

You wanted to look away, but you couldn't. Rachel - I will post the info shortly... My laptop(Frodo)died today and I'm trying to rebuild another old laptop to replace it and get back on line.

Well at least, you are definitely able to give a general conclusion for the entire series. Loved the apple falling into the abyss. But you still read all six books?

If you have, will you write a quick post -- or reply to this comment -- listing the rest of Frank Herbert's Dune books, and which ones you liked best? I'd like to read them in order. hey Ric —

Your review pretty much sums up everything that I have heard from other readers. I never bothered with any of the new Dune books.
