Book Reviews of Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3)
Book Review: Masterpiece #3
Summary: 5 Stars
The third book in the ever great Dune series promises more than you can handle. The book is unpredictable as always, but when the story is enjoyable at the same time we've got a winner.Frank Herbert paints a new picture of the desert world Dune into your mind, one that will change your view's of the characters. The mind tumbling twists and turns that are taken will hurl the cliffhangers straight at you, and you will continually draw into the story.
The way the whole of plots and story is perfectly fit together makes this book more enjoyable than most others out there, and the long length will garuntee your money's worth. Dune is a great series, Children of Dune is a great sequel.
Book Review: DUNE HOUSE ATREIDES
Summary: 5 Stars
HOUSE ATREIDES FILLS IN MANY OF THE BLANKS THAT ARE ONLY HINTED AT IN THE ORIGINAL SERIES. WE ARE INTRODUCED TO THE FLEDGELING LETO ATREIDES,THE EVIL AND TWISTED BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN, AND THE NOBLE PAULUS ATREIDES. THERE IS A CONTINUED GREAT FEEL TO THE NEW STORY AS WAS FELT IN DUNE. WE ARE GIVEN A VERY PERSONAL VIEW OF HOW YOUNG LETO ATREIDES MUST BECOME A LEADER BEFORE HIS TIME AFTER THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF HIS FATHER. LUSH AND BRUTAL LOCALES ARE ALSO A TREAT; FROM THE LOVELY WATER COVERED PLANET CALADAN TO THE DESERT FILLED BUT MYSTERIOUSLY INTOXICATING ARRAKIS(DUNE), THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SCIENCE FICTION FAN EVEN IF YOU AREN'T A FAN OF HERBERT'S WORK.Book Review: Decent conclusion to original Dune trilogy...
Summary: 5 Stars
and a good predecessor to the God of Dune book. I don't know what else I can say in praise of this book that the other reviewers here haven't said. The only complaint I had was that Alia wasn't a more prominent character here, so that her descent into Abomination due to her being born with other Memory could be explored more, her transformation felt sudden to me. But overall it is still a great book. The CoD movie on the Sci-Fi Channel was a rather decent adaptation of this book, in my humble opinion, though I will say that I liked the movie ending better due to the addition and slight alterations to it. A worthy book in the Dune series. 4.5/5 stars.Book Review: The Best Book of the Series...Blows away the original
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first read this book, I was shocked, emotionally drained, and utterly breathless. In this masterpiece, Herbert finishes his first trilogy of the planet Dune. Muad'Dib's ecological salvation plan for Dune is in full effect, and the planet is turning green with life. St. Alia-of-the-Kinfe, however, is planning to take over with the help of the Baron Hark. in her head. This sums everythin up, and creates the character that will carry this trilogy over to the next one, but I won't spoil it for you. just be sure you read it, and prepare to be blown away in the climactic conclusion to Herbert's 1st trilogy of Arrakis!Book Review: Excellent Concepts
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Dune and then Dune Messiah, I was a little disappointed in Messiah. It had lengthy internal dialogue and long explanations of twisted plots within plots. But Children of Dune ranks right up there with the original Dune in my book! What a great story! The twins are awesome in their mental scope and abilities; Leto II is necessarily brutal as his human-ness slips away from him (and he knows it). The sand trout, the worms fears, the destruction of Alia and her abomination within, all warped the readers mind enough to make this a VERY enjoyable read. Now it's on to God Emperor of Dune. Let's see how this goes!
