In the series I enjoyed this first novel but was disappointed by book two, Dune Messiah. For in Dune Messiah, Herbert kind of reversed everything that was great in the first novel; it became anti-heroic and plebeian. However, he rectified it in Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune, taking the story to unseen mythological heights. Worth the effort, I'd say, even though Herbert's way of writing can be a bit repetitious and myopic at times.
