IT GETS GOOD AFTER THE FOURTH SEASON LOL. I started rereading these and reading for the first time the last two. I can’t believe what a difference 20 years makes in remembering what was first read but, more than that, UNDERSTANDING what was written. A more mature mind and all of a sudden the theater of the mind was clearer, in focus, and brazen. Although just stories with extreme depths of morality and culture, the last two kep me rapt with attention. I felt myself actually WANTING to get back to the story after having nervous butterflies in my stomach all day going over what I had learned the night before. And loving it.

Important, but not very enjoyable. I did enjoy the first book, but by the end of book 3 Herbert's idiosyncracies as an author had really started to irritate me. By the end of book 6, I was more than ready to be finished. Without a doubt, this series is important, and there are plenty of fascinating ideas within - prescience, fate, Other memory, gholas/gholahood/reincarnation. You'll have plenty of food for thought while reading these books. But there are almost no likeable characters, and the series is unlikeable as a result. It's dry, humorless - thoroughly joyless. The dialogue is frequently unintelligible. Seriously, *unintelligible*. If you're going to cross this literary Sahara, I'd recommend taking an intro to the work of Carl Jung with you. Herbert was clearly profoundly influenced by Jung, and it would be nearly impossible to understand much of what happens in the books without some degree of familiarity with his ideas. But on the whole, I'd recommend just turning back now.

Dune Series by Frank Herbert.. In one word…Mesmerizing!
