    The Dune literary phenomenon offers fascinating insight into human psychology because the book series is such absolute unadulterated slop.

        I enjoyed the first book a lot it went very quickly downhill from there, and I stopped after “God Emperor”, though I have the next book and some people telling me it gets better.

      It’s like clan of the cave bear. Cool ideas at first and diminishing returns with each successive book.

        I think you’re right but I did care about at least the main story of every book even if the story itself wasn’t told the best way (I’m looking at you sex ninja/sorcerers) Taken as a whole I like the story though and enjoyed it while reading it.
