I won't comment on that, since everything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law. Just read on.

Whoops, sorry Nurv. Ignore Trolls bane - the ending is really powerful. You get a real sense of how much bigger Paul is.... *zips mouth shut* Not saying another word.

There's four sequels, suck it up!
I remember who Irulan is, she's the princess with the interesting quotes at the start of each chapter. Hm... that explains a lot... I always like Irulan, because of her insightful quotes. But I love Chani. I hope her and her son are happy even if Paul ditches them. Maybe it's just as well. Paul has a hard road ahead of him.

I've been at it with Machine Crusade for months now but it's been surprisingly slow going for me compared to the original 6 books. Must be since I only read it when I'm on the throne...

You're reading the second one? The first one wasn't useful for anything other than bog roll, small wonder you're reading this one on the throne.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for closure and I decided to finish the second one before the 3rd and last one comes out. Kust curious about the story. Brian sure ain't his Dad...
I'll go back to God Emperor one of these days. I miss Hwi Noree.

Hwi Noree... Now she could make me feel human again.

I finished reading Dune just recently, but I can hardly remember half of it. Memory-loss at twelve.

After seeing how obsessed BoP is with Dune and getting a 15% discount on all books at my English book shop, I thought I'd give Dune a try. And from what I've gathered from this thread, I should just start with the original Frank Herbert books and skip the Prelude to Dune and Legends of Dune, or at least save them till later. Right? Or do you think starting with the prequels is a good idea?

No, avoid the prequels like the plague. Ugh.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. (and if you don't, I may be forced to violence)

Follow BoP's and troll's bane's advice, Jonathan. They have good taste.
