Here is what people are saying about the Chapterhouse Dune
 "A 'must have' for any library where the prior books are popular lends" | 2009-10-17 |
| - Reviewed By mwbookrevw |
| CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE represents the final book in the Dune story and is a 'must have' for any library where the prior books are popular lends. Here the planet Dune has been destroyed and the Old Empire has been consumed by a violent matriarchal cult - except for the Bene Gesserit. The planet Chapterhouse under their leadership is being transformed into another desert world - and the Sisterhood has wide-ranging plans in this fine absorbing conclusion to the saga. |

 "reprint of the 1985 final book" | 2009-08-08 |
| - Reviewed By harrietklausner@worldnet.att.net |
In the past twelve years (since the HERETICS OF DUNE), the Honoured Matres have devastated the Bene Gesserit to the point their adversaries are nearing extinction; their last enclave is a slowly changing Chapterhouse into the desert realm like they once had on Dune. The desperate Bene Gesserit Mother Superior Darwi Odrade knows her Sisterhood is in deep trouble. Their only hope resides with technology taken from the now almost extinct Bene Tleilax whose last survivor Scytale is in captivity.
The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood creates a ghola of Miles Teg, but no one knows how to use it against the enemy only that they must train the ghola to be their counter weapon as he has been used in many lifetimes before. Meanwhile the Sisterhood also mentors with training the application of the Coda ex Honoured Matre Murbella and her lover Duncan Idaho in hopes that they prove useful. However a tribe of Jews offer to help the Bene Gesserit as they know what the final solution means to them if the Honoured Matres win as seems likely.
This is a reprint of the 1985 final book written by Frank Herbert in the Dune Chronicles with the concentration about 90 plus percent on Odrade and her efforts to save her group by correcting a major defect in all of the Bene Gesserit that leaves them vulnerable to the enemy. This is a fascinating well written tale; however that focus also means minimal appearance by the Honoured Matres so the big theme never moves forward much. The completion of that overarching saga was done in collaboration by the late great author's son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson based on notes left behind. Fans should read previous Dune books before Chapterhouse and the collaboration of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson starting with HUNTERS OF DUNE to obtain the full flavor as this entry is a betweener tale.

| "Portrait of Darwi Odrade." | 2009-02-24 |
| - Reviewed By User: AWP99KE8JGZX8 |
An alternative title to this novel may have been: Darwi Odrade, a portrait.
Maybe a little melodramatic, but I think it might explain why many people find themselves not liking this novel. This is a landscape painting of Chapterhouse, and all of those connected to it. The planet is personified by Odrade herself. Changing course slowly, secretly, making plans inside of plans. One so devious and intricate that no one sees the true purpose or goals until after they had been attained. Willing participation in the golden path.
While there are two more novels written by different authors, honestly though Chapterhouse Dune stands in its own unique way as a fitting conclusion to Herbert's portion of the golden path. Its continuation being your own responsibility.
Reading the novel is like watching a painter, stroke by stroke, creating a piece of art. Paralleling the Van Gogh painting in Odrade's possession. While the thing is being made you can appreciate the technique and the form and skeleton of the composition, and only after it had been admired and examined from a distance can it be truly finished and appraised.
What may have seemed a frivolous dialogue about clam soup in the novel is finally seen as something integral as the piece is finished - it becomes a singular brushstroke that is a part of the whole - which can never be complete without that brush stroke.
The novel barks at form of metaphysics throughout that is explaining, brushstroke by brushstroke, how to decipher the piece as a whole by constantly reminding you how the masterpiece could be made up of seemingly frivolous parts strung along threads of poetry, binding together the multifaceted galaxy shaking events casually referred to, smashing into a momentary denouement that immediately splinters into a new series of threads leading off into the unknown. |

| "An intriguing end to a awesome series" | 2009-01-04 |
| - Reviewed By queenmeowth |
As far as I am concerned, this is the last Dune book (besides the Encyclopedia) and should be considered the end. The disappointing tripe of Hunters and Sandworms of Dune by Brian and Kevin are nothing but poorly written fanfiction.
The consequences of Leto's Golden Path are made apparent in this and its predecessor, Heretics of Dune. Sheeana is a intriguing character and so is Murbella and Odrade, as well as the nth incarnation of Duncan Idaho.
Frank Herbert died before he could write Dune 7, so this book was never supposed to be the end of the Dune series. Unfortunately it is, for we have been denied Herbert's genius after his untimely death.
We can assume that with Leto's Golden Path, Siona's 'no-gene' and the Scattering that humans have spread across many galaxies and this would eventually give rise to myriad races and civilizations, which in itself is a more than intriguing thought.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic story with us, Frank Herbert, and may your legacy be always cherished (even if not from Brian and Kevin) We love you. |

| Probably the greatest series of SF ever written. And Chapterhouse lives up to the others and then some. |

 "I'm falling asleep" | 2008-11-26 |
| - Reviewed By User: A890MRM29RIJU |
| I've read and re-read the DUNE series including books done by Brian Herbert. I've read Frank's original DUNE series up to Heretics about 3 times or more. I've always wondered why I can't remember anything abpit Chapterhouse Dune until I started reading it again. It is booooooriiing - that's why. I don't think I ever finished it and I probably made 2 attempts. I finally found the audiobook for it just to force myself to listen to the book while driving - big mistake. The book was putting me to sleep. I have since been listening to the audiobook only when I take public transport - or sometimes when I want to fall asleep at bedtime. God Emperor of Dune was a tedious read for me the first time but I found myself able to read it again and enjoy it now. This book though just doesn't get me excited or interested. I'm only listening to it now so I can read Brian H's sequel - Sandworms and Hunters of Dune. I just wish I could find an abridged version of this book. I think it can be summed up in 2 or 3 chapters. There's just so much pages wasted on people's thoughts, musings, endless talking, etc. that doesn't capture my attention after the first paragraph of a page. I'm still plodding through this book and hopefully will be done with it. I would like to google and see if I can find a really really short version of this book someone hopefully posted online and save myself the misery. |
