Book Reviews of Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3)
Book Review: Of all the Dune books, this was the 2nd hardest to finish...
Summary: 5 Stars
after GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE, which talk me almsot half a year. However, CHILDREN OF DUNE is not half as mundane as GOD EMPEROR... quite the opposite. Indeed, it was so fascinating that I would often re-read chapters over and over until I had fully absorbed every mililiter of genius this novel contains. DO NOT buy the TV series w/out the book!!! The miniseries cuts out WAY too much. This is one of the most mystical, entertaining novels ever conceived.
Superb!
Book Review: Back to true Dune style
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Dune and it's successor, Dune Messiah, I thought that the series might take a nose dive into the abyss of money-hungry authorship trying to capitalize on the magnificence of the first novel. But I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. The book tells so much with so little that it is truly mind-boggling. Depth of character, the planet and the plots within plots kept me riveted to the pages. Now its on to the next book in the series. Enjoy!Book Review: Fascinating study of power
Summary: 5 Stars
In Dune Messiah Paul Atreides discovers that he is too human to be a god and decides to relinquish the throne. In Children of Dune his son Leto II discovers that the only way to rule the universe is to become a god and relinquishes his humanity. I read Dune about 15 years ago and have finally gotten around to reading the sequels. I found that each installment in the series has been more fascinating than the previous one. Now on to God Emperor of Dune.....Book Review: Terrific
Summary: 5 Stars
This is currently the last Dune book I've read, I have yet to read God Emperor and the others, along with the prequel. But Children of Dune, in my opinion, is just as good as the original. Even though it's packed with philosophy and can get boring at times (at get very exciting, also), the book is truly amazing. Also, one more note. This goes out to the other reviewers: Stop spoiling it! Your job is to REVIEW, not to give the summary!Book Review: A brilliant example of Frank Herberts talent!
