Everyone knows Frank Herbert’s Dune. One of the most popular science fiction novels ever written, it has become a worldwide phenomenon, winning awards, selling millions of copies around the world. Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert’s eldest son, tells the provocative story of his father’s extraordinary life in this honest and loving chronicle.

Frank Herbert is an Inspiration
Revisado: 08-06-22
I loved listening to this. Dune (1-6) is my all time favorite work of fiction. Perfect if you want to be able to better understand Frank Herbert better.
It was so insightful yet heart breaking. It took some self control not to tear up hearing about the pain of losing Bev. I was not expecting to be so emotionally moved.
It’s amazing how much Brian was able to recount. He kept a journal which made it very specific. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was it felt a bit repetitive towards the later half. Brian made it a lot about himself, which is okay because he is part of the story. However it felt like a little bit too much about Brian at some points and probably could have gone without some details.
Overall it was a great listen. Will definitely buy the book to have in my collection.

The Muad'Dib's jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies - those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

First Time with Brian/Kevin

If you love the Dune universe, it’s pretty good to listen to while working, however I found it a bit cheesy. The characters were made into caricatures based on how Frank Herbert wrote them.
A lot of it was rehashed ideas as well (ambushes at the wedding ceremony and surrender ceremony). I guess it may have been to restraining to write a book that takes place before and after book one.
It also directly contradicts book one because it is explicitly stated that Paul had never left Caladan before going to Arrakis.
