    The only good Dune book is the first book. So it will be interesting to see how this turns out.

      I might have enjoyed Children of Dune more than the first, but yeah the rest weren’t great IMO, not sure how Denis is gonna work with Messiah, I really struggled with that book.

      Spoken like someone who didn’t read Heretics and Chapterhouse. Those are definitely the most movie-adaptable of the entire series. Perfect balance between action, philosophy and sex for a great movie or series.

      The first book is the best but God Emperor of Dune is really good. Chapter House would make a great movie as well.

      Children of Dune is imo the worst of the Frank Herbert Dune books. That’s going to be tough to adapt well.
