Dune: The Battle of Corrin: Book Three of the Legends of Dune Trilogy Audiobook

" The "Legends of Dune" series ends on an exciting note. Most of the stories flow well; others, like the lead up to the final battle for Corrin, are strangely boring in some places and rushed in others--there could have been more description in what I considered some exciting moments and less in the ones I considered boring ones. The book does explain the origins of the Fremen, the Bene Gesserit (but not the origin of their name), the Spacing Guild, and the three main houses who compete for power in the Dune series. I assumed these all came from Frank Herbert's notes, and it's good to know where they came from. But did we have to get this information in this less-than-stellar fiction? "

" Book was good and interesting, it just took too long to get to the the climax. The Battle of Corrin, the name of the book and final battle, didn't even start to happen until there less than 100 pages left. Things didn't develop very well throughout the book and changes happened very fast and not gradually. It was a decent finish to the trilogy. Probably would have been better if I had taken a break between The Machine Crusade and this one. That's a lot of pages to read in a row. "

" Again, this ends up reading more like a history book for fans of the Dune universe. More than the other two books, though, this book seems to force certain plot revelations and pacing in order to fulfill the objective of setting the foundation for the later novels. Also, there is much less connection to all of the characters since most of the main ones are introduced in this novel (the book takes place decades after the end of the second one when most of those characters have died off). "

" If you lied the first two in this trilogy, this is a must. A little slow in once you get through the first part, but very important story telling to explain a larger story. "

" All the seeds of what will become my beloved Duniverse are planted here. "

" Not nearly as good as Frank Herbert's original writings, but still a good read. "

" Good story, but too many short explanations behind the world that Frank Herbert created. It was like reading a checklist of the how's and why's of the universe in Dune. "

" Finally the connections to the original are a little more apparent. Great finish to the Trilogy. "

" Avoid like the plague. Even worse than the prior two. Felt like having my colon examined with a tambourine. "

" Huge dune fan and this lived up to his father's books. "

" Overall, it was fun...but...it dragged a lot. I wasn't as attached to the characters as I am to the original Herbert series. If you take it based on its own merits...its ok. "

" Fails to live up to the original series. "

" Really enjoyed getting more of the backstory on the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the Space Guild and the Navigators, and Mentats, each with an unexpected twist. Such a fascinating and rich universe. "

" Very good and exciting. Time consuming, but worth the effort. "

" Long, I listened to this on audio and it took me forever. "

" an interesting end, the best in this trilogy, but i wasn't overly impressed. the writing seemed a little uninspired, and didn't present many new ideas. "

" at least better than the book before "

" Currently reading aloud to Kenneth. Anxious to get through this series so we can jump to the sequels to original Dune series. "

" Huge dune fan and this lived up to his father's books. "

" Good. I recommend if you are a fan of the classic Dune series. "

" A little long winded, but a pretty good read. Didn't have the same atmosphere as the other Dune books, but still pretty good. "

" Very good and exciting. Time consuming, but worth the effort. "
