Book Reviews of Chapterhouse Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 6)
Book Review: Bene Gesserits are the key
Summary: 5 Stars
As I read the first Dune books, I was fascinated by the Bene Gesserit. When Chapterhouse Dune came out, totally dedicated to them, it was terrific. As other reviewers have said, "If you like the Bene Gesserit, their mystery, their centuries- long dedication, you'll love Chapterhouse. If you don't, you won't." Makes onewonder if a Bene Gesserit type group is really "behind things" in our world, too. Maybe. Maybe not. Hmmmmmmm?Book Review: A wonderful trip back
Summary: 5 Stars
Rereading Herbert's second Dune trilogy--God Emperor, Hertics and now, Chapterhouse Dune--was a wonderful trip back for me. And in Chapterhouse, the Bene Gesserit are going back as well. They've rescued worms from the now destroyed Arrakis, and have moved them to Chapterhouse. Even as they try to move back, they're forced to confront the future and deal with the Honored Matres. A great read, set in a world that feels like coming home to me.Book Review: Just some words about the saga
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't believe we will never read again
anything about this marvellous creation from
Frank Herbert. I hope that his son, also a writer
and one that has actually worked with his father, will in time return to this strange and complex Universe his father created and follow the unanswered questions that have been left on this last book.
Many things must be still explored and explained...
i'm sure we will see Dune's Universe again...Book Review: A reflection of reality
Summary: 5 Stars
The beauty of Herbert's work lies not only in the sheer pleasure and entertainment of reading that this book has in abundance, or in the magic and wonder of his fictional universe, but in the implications concerning the reality we live in. Chapterhouse:Dune gives us a different insight and awareness of the intricacies of politics, philosophy, religion, and truth ; the humanity in survival, evolution, and growth-- the issues that concern us allBook Review: Chapterhouse closes the door to a golden era.
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliant and second best of the Dune Books (Dune will always be #1!!) I only wish he had lived to write one more book, because it ends with all the possibilities of the universe. And if the Dune books are your first exploration into Frank Herbert's worlds, don't stop here. I highly recommend all his books, especially Whipping Star, The Dosadi Experiment, and his best non-Dune novel, The White Plague.
