-----------------------------------
Concur with Damon almost. While not my #1 favorite, it is clearly in my Top
10 SF books. IIRC, the last two times Locus Magazine has run its top SF of
all time list, "Dune" has finished #1 both times. ("The Lord of the Rings"
took the fantasy top spot).
Below comments are IMO,
"Dune" Excellent, a must read
"Dune Messiah" Not as good, but okay.
"Children of Dune" Better
"God Emperor of Dune" Okay, but a hard read--much, much dialog and
ponitification by the worm emperor.
"Heretics of Dune" Not bad
"Chapterhouse Dune" Just got it in a recent Amazon shipment--in my
"to read" stack.
