I am a big fan of the original Dune books by Frank Herbert, and I've read all the books by Kevin Andersen and Brian Herbert. I found the first three to be alright, but the Butlerian Jihad was less than great. I've heard a lot of other people say this, like PA . What do you guys think, is there anything good about these book, because no matter if I dont like them, I'll probably keep on buying them.

The Butlerian Jihad and The Machine Crusade, while not the best written, do provide some interesting background, fleshed out, for the Dune series by Frank Herbert.

I read all 3 House books and got halfway through The Butlerian Jihad before I lost it. All in all though I've enjoyed this extension of the Dune universe.

I read only 3 of the books, by that time was done with the Dune Universe. I enjoyed the first one, very feudal in his structure and society. It was a mix of Middle ages England, with a mix of Arabic culture.
The last of the 3, Children of Dune, was good. I though the miniseries was very well done.
I never finished God Emperor of Dune, it felt 'phoned in'.

I stand by my Quote that made in May 19, 2003:

"How can you give a 'tie' in costumes!? The dreaded Sardaukar most feared soldier/convicts in the known universe looked like Pastry Chefs! (this is so hard to overlook in a other wise great miniseries)

Granted – in the movie, the Sardaukar looked like welders… I'd be more scared of a welder."
