Dune Messiah: Book Two in the Dune Chronicles

I hope book 3 is better

A must if you listened to Dune (Book 1). Not as much action and a lot of political dialogue and internal thoughts, but every great story needs an end and this gets you there and keeps you guessing at what the decisions the key characters in the book make. Narration, still one of best narrations of any audiobook I’ve listened to. Dune narration was great, but with one person narrating and the voices with a different cast. In Dune: Messiah you have other the characters also narrating.

Count inured the story wonderfully, even if it was more political intrigue than sci fi space adventure. Narration on point!

This book was sad for me. Letting go of a lot of great characters. I've read the three prequels and the first dune book. But I will still impressed with the story line and it kept me interested.

A great sequel to Dune. I was not expecting a better read than Dune but I believe that it was. This is a much shorter novel when compared to Dune and that length fits the book well since most of the background was already set in the longer novel, Dune. You won't be disappointed as the story continues ... and obviously, you must have already read Dune to fully understand the nuances suggested in this book.

I was not expecting to like this book. Unlike everyone else, I did not like Dune. I felt the characters were rushed in the first book. I thought this book was very interesting as a character study. Herbert spent much less time developing the story line and much more time expounding on the characters. Put together the story felt complete.

Difficult book to get through. Very week plot--nothing exciting happens. Mostly consists of dialogue between characters.
