Here is what people are saying about the Dune Messiah
2 Star Rating  "For Pot-Smoking Philosophy Majors ONLY"2010-01-22
- Reviewed By Acid from Rogers, AR USA
I am NOT a "Dune" (or sci-fi) fanboy. I like a well written book with a good plot, but am not genre specific. I am 36 years old and read "Dune" for the first time a month ago. It is a very good book. The Greatest Sci-Fi novel ever? I'm sceptical of that claim, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes a very good, intelligent, action-packed adventure novel.

"Dune Messiah", on the other hand, is almost a travesty - MASSIVELY underwhelming. There is virtually no action in this one. Just a bunch of crusty middle aged people talking...and talking...and talking. Though the ending is satisfying, and there is something almost resembling action at about the 250 page mark, it is otherwise devoid of excitement.

Reading this book was like being the only sober college student in a room filled with pot-smoking philosophy majors. The same points get repeated over and over again, until you can bearly stand it. There ARE some interesting ideas in this book (particularly about how extraordinary men and their actions are twisted to serve the purposes of their warped followers, a la Jesus Christ), and dozens of wonderful lines to quote, but not nearly enough to justify it's 300+ page length. It is almost necessary to read, since it does complete the story of Paul Atreides, but it would have been so much more bearable if it had been half the length.

I will NOT be reading any more Dune books, as the general consensus is that each sequel is progressively worse than the one before. I believe it now.
 
5 Star Rating  "Sip this fine wine slowly"2009-12-06
- Reviewed By John D. Aldridge from Waimanalo, Hawaii
Read Dune originally in 1972 or so, was mesmerized by it's concept, depth, and also the action. Read Dune Messiah sometime later..and was bored: none of the sweeping action, and was mostly talk. Was too young to appreciate it. Reread Dune again recently, what a classic. Am now halfway through Dune Messiah. As a older somewhat mature individual I can now understand the personal complexities explored in depth by this book. It is to be slowly savored and a source of much consideration. Herbert was an intelligent and wise person, who could craft an exceptional story to explore themes and also delight our yearning for a good yarn. Dune's complexity elevates itself to a myth-like status. Enjoy.
 
5 Star Rating  "A Great and Worthy Successor To Dune!"2009-09-21
- Reviewed By dolphins34 from Atlanta, GA
Loved, loved, loved it! I can't get enough Dune!! On to Children of Dune.
 
5 Star Rating  "Good book"2009-09-11
- Reviewed By CultOfStrawberry from I wait behind the wall, gnawing away at your reality
A definite worthy successor to Dune, Dune Messiah could be seen as part of the original Dune story, just as Heretics and Chapterhouse go together. In Dune, we saw Paul's struggle to learn and survive and eventually take over Arrakis. Dume Messiah concentrates on the consequences of Paul's Jihad and serves as a warning to hero-worship. A wonderful book by a talented author. Bravo, Mr. Herbert!
 
5 Star Rating  "Great Audiobook"2009-03-19
- Reviewed By ---ike from Saint Louis
This audio book is well produced and a great compliment to Dune. The story picks up a few years after the original book and brings the story to a rightful conclusion. IMHO, the original book and Dune Messiah really combine to make one story, not two.
 
5 Star Rating  "Just As Good As Dune"2009-01-11
- Reviewed By Cerebellum
Dune Messiah is an excellent sequel to Dune. It is just as wonderful and intense as the first book. Frank Herbert is one of the best writers I have ever read. I love the way his writing makes you think about what is being said, and it also makes you derive your own meanings from statements, and you decide weather or not a character is good or bad. If you enjoyed Dune (which you should have) then you must read Dune Messiah. It is everything Dune was and maybe a little more. You will not regret reading this wonderful book.
