I really like the last 3. I tended to dismiss the n°2 and 3 in my memory, but each time i actually read them, I find them worth the read and interesting. But maybe they are less breathtaking in scope as the others.

I really miss the hinted at 7th book after the 6th one. It was promising to be absolutely ecellent. Maybe his son has enough notes to create it (I quite like the work he's done with Anderson to write some of the earlier episodes - not as grand, maybe, but faithful to the style and atmosphere od his father and pretty good books).

Wow, I didn't knew about the prequels, nor aboutr Dune 7, whose first half is already in the stores according to the official site.

Now I have to take the time to re-read the original six... (if I can get my hands on copies).

I read the first a time or three, read the second (and agreed with your judgement), and then returned to re-reading the first.

I read the whole book aloud, once. Made for interesting discussions.
