Chronicles of Kanjisheik: Series Review: The Dune saga by Frank Herbert

Well, this is just a sort of sounding board for me to think aloud on the few issues that concern me and the numerous topics that do not! Well, if you want to read the little joys and sorrows of a young medical student, who is juggling with every faculty he possesses, to achieve one plain and neat goal- SURVIVAL, then this is defintely NOT the place! Please note: this is the work of a whizkid-turned-bookworm-turned-cool dude-turned-internet addict-turned-blogger.

Book 1: Dune
Book 2: Dune Messiah
Book 3: Children of Dune
Book 4: God-Emperor of Dune
Book 5: Heretics of Dune
Book 6: Chapterhouse Dune

Frank Herbert's masterpiece- the Dune hexology- has been acclaimed as one of the greatest science fiction series of all time. The first part had a killer concept, brilliant characterisation, and a radical plot; definitely on of the best opening novel of an SF series, alongwith Dan Simmons's Hyperion. But the succeeding novels lack the panache and elegance of the first part. Overall, defintiely a great series, but not the best.
