I'd say slightly better than Dune. While this was still okay it was quicker to read than the first one and a little less confusing. So for starters taking 12 years after the first book there is a lot of information missing. Such as why is Paul now suddenly evil towards everyone? Why is Lady Jessica not on Arrakis? How is Arrakis now not a desert planet? Why was Duncan brought back? Lots of questions. The story was kind of slow to get through but I'm curious to see this get adapted into a movie. I don't think I'll check out the next book but who knows.
