Frank Herbert is easily one of the best authors I've ever read. I don't see why any of these books aren't considered classics. This book takes you on a wild ride and represents the end of an era in the world of Arrakis. I can't wait to read the 3rd book as this one brought about just as many questions as it answered -- quite characteristic of Frank Herbert's writing.
Graphic: Murder, Death, and Grief

This was a perfect follow-up to dune and I adored how it followed the aftermath of deification, how Paul had to humanize himself once again to get out from under the shadow he was trying so desperately to avoid. It's an interesting work of ethics and morality and continued to expand upon the rich world established in the first book.
Once again, it's very much a product of its time, accompanied with prevailing attitudes of the era, so tread with caution. But overall, I very much enjoyed it.
