The advice I give is that if you can make it through the second one, the
rest are easier (even though half of them are three times as long). I am
not counting _anything_ Brian Herbert wrote in that, of course; those are
medium-mediocre pulp that just happens to have some people and ideas of
the
same name that Frank Herbert's Dune had. (As though the original series
had
been written by Hubbard's younger incompetent brother, perhaps.)
