Book Reviews of Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3)
Book Review: One again, Herbert does it
Summary: 5 Stars
once again Herebert has done it. He has added to the maginficent cronicles of the 10000th century imperium. One agian Herbert makes us feel the emotion that flows through the characters, from Duncan's loss of his beloved Alia to abominiation, to Ghadhean Al-Fali's discust at the way the desert has become, to perhaps the most profound, when Leto meets the Preacher in the desert, you can feel the weight of the the word, Paul Muad`Dib was dead, only the preacher remained.
This book, while not as good as its predocessors, is still a mighty book, a beacon in modern SF, perhaps even the third greast book ever written.Book Review: Awesome conclusion!!! Very intriguing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is so cool, it ties the first two into it so well, and is so full of surprises that I need to be careful not to spoil it for those unfortunate enough not to have read this. WOW. I think Herbert created such an interesting and intriguing story that I just want to slap all these apparent English majors who want to bash him for whatever random sentence in the book might be a little confusing...next thing you know they'll want to breathe our air too. But seriously, once you get past the first half, this is possibly harder to put down than DUNE. A fun read...and you won't believe the plot twists.Book Review: A worthy sequel indeed...exciting and fun

Summary: 5 Stars
Children of Dune, the third book of the Dune chronicles, tells the story of the Atreides destiny after the disappearance of Muad'dib. The children of Muad'dib, Leto and Ghanima, now must take up the heavy burden left by their father. Old faces pop up, and there are many plot twists (but do we expect any less from Herbert's grand work?). The scope of this book is much broader than in Dune Messiah, which makes it a more enjoyable read. How can a series of books continue to produce, particularly under such heavy expectations? Who knows, but Children of Dune continues the rich tradition of the seriesBook Review: A vast improvment over #2
Summary: 5 Stars
This book lays the groundwork for the rest of the Dune Series. Litto II and his sister are young children now, almost adolescents. It is not known what happened to their Father Paul. A few remnants of the old books survive in Gerny Hallack and Stilgar who no their best to safeguard the kids. But all 4 will be caught up in the vast changes sweeping the planet Arrakis, as their world Dune starts to die. Or that is, the deserts dry up.
A great book as always interspersed with that wonderful Frank Herbert poetry adding a new depth to the story, a must for any serious Sci-fi fan.
