Summary: Better than the fifth one.
Review: Remember, three stars does indicate a better than average book--it just looks low around all these fives. Chapterhouse: Dune was plagued by the same problems as HoD: it meandered and the philosophy seemed out of place in the plot. However, this time the complex threads of politics actually approached being as revealing as those in Dune, and the characters began to get a little more real. Herbert must have had some great insights into politics, economics, and human nature to write this book, yes, but he could have expressed it better. At least there were no more "dependencies and key logs" here. I wish he had lived to write the seventh Dune book!

Summary: An excellent mind-opening science fiction novel. An epic.
Review: One of the first science-fiction books I ever read, this novel interested me in that entire genre of literature. Its setting on a foreign planet in a time-frame immeasurably distant from our own forces the reader to let go immiediately of reality and accept Frank Herbert's universe. And it is quite a universe. Herbert conveys very effectively the atmosphere and setting. His excellent descriptive capabilities combined with an exciting, well-woven, and intricate plot make for a fabulous piece of literature for anyone interested in science-fiction.

Summary: Better than any study of humanity available in in classroom!
Review: More than your basic sci-fi romp, Frank Herbert's commentary on what makes up and binds society (and also tears the same apart) gave me food for thought to nourish the well-balanced dogma I call my own...thank you Frank for making me a better person! "Fear is the mindkiller. It is the little death that brings on total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow fear to pass through me and to pass around me. When fear is gone by I shall turn to see fear's path. Only I will remain."....Benegeserit Litany Against Fear NOW BE A GOOD STUDENT AND READ THE BOOKS!!!!!!

Summary: Best of the best.
Review: The story lets your mind travel and tour Arrakis thousands of light years away. Imagine a life so magnificent yet challenging. Stricly recommend to die hard sci-fi readers to read other books by Mr. Herbert. Simply Brilliant !!!

Summary: The Plot Thickens!
Review: Go back to the begining! To Arrakis, Dune, Desert Planet. Just when you thought you'd gotten past one book, they pull you back IN! I don't think you can read just one book and leave it at that. It's like research. I have found myself wondering if this was truly the end of the great saga? This book continues in that fashion of answering previous questions and making you ask new ones. The insight of the Author into most matters of our life is very interesting. Obviously he was one who really gave great, deep thought to the matters of humanity, religion, government, politics, and mystrey. In this book he reveals more of those thoughts in the deeply related series of books that you must take as a whole to fully appreciate.

Summary: The best so far!!!!!!
Review: The other books of the Dune series pale in camparison to this one. Of my memories of the entire seies this stands out the most vivid and magnifiecent of all of them. Frank Herbert is at his best in "Chapterhouse Dune". It is for the intellectual with its series of mind muddling and complex, intricate plots that are devilish in their severe twists and turns. For once it is not a book with simplistic and overused plots. It also provokes a variety of raw, primal emotions throughtout that cotradicts the intellectuality of the work, but however when thse two are combined a surprising compound is prodced (as proved).We cry at the Sea Child's death, and with joyous uproar greet Rebecca's arrival and existence. One is able to relate to the events of the book, it is realistic with a grasp of material matters and emotions beyond that of any other author. I liked this one the best (obviously!)!!

Summary: A Great Conclusion to to the best SF-series of all time!
Review: This book is everybit as good (if not better) than the previous five. All I can say is that it is exciting, thought-provoking and just simply astonishing, everything that you have learned to expect from Frank Herbert. Just read it! (preferably more than once :-)

Summary: This book is the worst in the Dune series.
Review: Chapterhouse Dune is basically about a planet (Chapterhouse) colonized by the Bene Gesserit. Dune itself has been destroyed and the Bene Gesserit are turning Chapterhouse into a desert by releasing the Sandtrout so they can produce the spice, melange. At the same time the Bene Gesserit are busy fighting a sect of women known as the Honored Matres. I am a fan of Dune but I found the book to be boring and depressing. Paul Atreides his son Leto II are hated by everyone including their own descendants. If you liked the Bene Gesserit you'll probably like this book--I liked the Atreides

Summary: An open-ended finale to the Dune chronicles
Review: This is the finale of Herbert's books. It picks up with the inner workings of the Bene Gesserit society after the destruction of Arrakis. Much better than it's predecessor, Chapterhouse:Dune once again will grip its readers. However, the one flaw is that it leaves too many questions unanswered. While it caps the series, it does not wrap up all of the loose ends, and the reader will feel a sense of incompleteness at the not-so-grand finale. It is a shame that we lost Frank Herbert, for it is clear that he meant to add to the Dune series

Summary: Great book! Ties all the books together in a nice package!
