absolutely fantastic ! ! !

after reading the entire dune saga, this book was a refreshing jump back into single book stories! ! ! everything was perfection !!!

Interesting

Interesting twists on how the book was written and enjoyable.

I would like to see more authored work from this writer/s.

Phenomenal

Shortest most entertaining philosophical insight i have ever read. If you liked god emperor of dune this is a must read

Had me thinking

This story kept me thinking of all the possibilities that the plot could go. I enjoyed it very much.

Boooorrrrrring

I don’t Know if it was the narrator of the book itself but it was one of the most boring thing I’ve ever heard in my life

Frank Herbert does it again

Dune, dune messiah, children of dune ,god emperor dune, chapter House dune all get their cameos in this story and it was thrillingly entertaining

Scott Brick delivers an amazing performance

Ever wish you could see how Frank Herbert developed some of the ideas he had for Dune? This is your book then!

Good start, mediocre ending

It started strong and was interesting. The narration was very good. The ending went a little off into left field for me.

A solid Discount Dune

If you're looking for good classic sci-fi that follows many of the themes which the Dune series is known for, you'll probably like this.

Good story, not SUPER easy to follow

In my opinion, some books translate to audiobook better than others. This story is told in sections that I think are a little easier to process when reading the physical book. There are no discernible “part one: x part two: y part three: z” breaks in the telling so it is easy to become lost. While listening it can become disorienting at first during new sections. I found myself starting several sections over as I became incredibly confused trying to associate the events/conversations taking place with what I had just heard.

I enjoy this narrator. I would assume the reviewer(s) that say he has a monotonous cadence with no inflection or emotion have incredibly high standards. Likely these people are looking for something highly produced with sound effects/different narrators etc. Though some “amazon originals” are like this, I would not categorize them as audiobooks.

I would like someone to catalog for me how many times Frank Herbert has had the words “tried to swallow in a dry throat” published.
