Title: Does't live up to the original DUNE--but how many works do?
Review: Dune Messiah is an engrossing tale, returning to the world of Dune, Paul, Duncan Idaho, and Stilgar. Where the original DUNE was an epic, DUNE MESSIAH takes the story further. Although it does not compare to the excellence of the original, it is still a very interesting and exciting story of intrigue, mystery, and suspense. Frank Herbert has the ability to immerse the reader in his tale, having them constantly wanting to read more and more. The term "page turner" comes to mind. It was almost two years between the time I read DUNE to the time I read DUNE MESSIAH. I can say that I eagerly await reading the next chapter of the series, CHILDREN OF DUNE, which I hope to begin this week.
