what's up with changing readers?

I loved the first book, it was consistent and occasionally had voice actors and other times was just the reader. this book has entire chapter with different narrorators. that really threw me off. story turned out to be good but I missed alot from being distracted by the changing voices.

should have been a movie

great follow up to the excellent writing of the original dune. I give moisture to honor the dead

I dislike abridged

The story is great but I loathe abridged stories because you miss so much of the story. The book fits nicely in the saga and I would recommend it after reading it's prequels

Unbelievable

I took a long time to finish Dune as I didn’t have much time nor the mental fortitude to look at such a large book and imagine finishing it - I am so glad that I did so that I was able to experience this audiobook the way that I have. What an amazing story and a fantastic performance. Finished this audiobook in a day and a half I could not stop listening. Thank you.

Good but Prechy

The storyline and audio performance was good but there were times when the monologs would drag on and become preachy. Some like that but I don't have the attention span for a page and a half of character internal monolog. Good story, just long.
