 I first read this book way back when, and I found myself enjoying it as much then as I did now.

First thing, for those coming to SF through the blockbuster movies, you will be disappointed. Like Shakespeare, much of the loud boomy action takes place of stage.

The action itself, spliting between three locations, and working its way towards a nexus, is more concerned with the inner workings of human nature, and the wranglings of human condition.

For those that like SciFi with a philosphy, go for this, and much of Frank Herbert's work.

 As the books got farther away from Dune, they just got wierder and wierder, didn't they? This one and Chapterhouse Dune I don't presume to understand at all, but I made valiant efforts.

 I like it, but be prepared the further you go into the series the more philosophical the plot becomes. Heretic is not near as philosophy driven as Dune Messiah, but it's still in that vein. A great book.

 I learnt so much about life, ecology, imagination, and the spirituality of text, from this series. 'Nuff said.

 The story continues far past Paul and his Leto into the distant future, where we fall into the effects of the God Emperor and his legacy.Much easier to read than book 4.

 Too long for its content. I remember it being wrongly balanced, between amazing plot point and insignificant substories. But a Dune fan stays till the end.
