Change
To say Herbert writes well is like saying Newton was clever. Honestly brilliant in its complexity from human nature and connection within and beyond ourselves. Herbert also makes interesting points on how adversity is required to help society progress, and how long term vision and flexibility is required to pull the species forward. And yet he also points out that one must not change to much too quickly, without considering the consequences or such change on society and ecological systems, both are of course entwined. Whilst probably accidental it pertains significantly to our current issues in politics and there environmental impacts.

Good performance, but don't entirely buy all voice
One of my favourite DUNE books...takes the political and spiritual shenanigans from Dune Messiah and upgrades the complexity and interplay. My only gripe is the choice of accents, both Gurney and Duncan seem to 'ave stumbled oft the set of Eastenders. Cor blimey, Layto, look at flippin' Sarndwum, '

Excellent in every way
The intelligent depth of the world, history, politics, and intrigue that Herbert has created, is absolutely excellent. It is comparable or maybe succeeds that of Lord of the Rings. Beautiful literature & language, and befittingly excellent narration.

A different experience
Dune is possibly my favourite book of all time and opened my eyes to many things completely unexpectedly. The Dune saga is something I have read over and over. Listening to Children of Dune was actually a completely new experience of the text for me and I think I absorbed so much more than reading it by hand that I feel I've almost read a different book with a different thrust and am happy to have done so as some side characters seemed to jump into the limelight when before I had almost glossed over them and the following novel has a new gravitas for me that it didn't before.

Enthralling
The voice acting was gripping and the story had so many twists and turns. The politics of space were handled incredibly by Herbert.

Classic Dune saga
I enjoyed the storyline, with the typical twists. I felt in some places a little drawn out, and the end was rushed. However, as i said I enjoyed another part of the saga.
