The Winds of Dune: Book Two of the Heroes of Dune Audiobook

" As always, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson remain faithful while still innovative. An excellent sequel to "Dune Messiah" and another fine addition to my Herbert collection. "

" I've only had limited exposure to the Dune universe, reading the first three books around the time that the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries was produced (since I have a Thing about reading the books before movies are released.) So I'm not a hardcore Dune fan and have never had much of an interest in reading any of the sequels until this one caught my eye on the NYT bestseller display at my library. Since it chronologically takes place between "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune," I didn't feel as if I was breaking the rule of reading-things-out-of-order and figured that my lack of knowledge about the extended universe wouldn't be a problem. Which it wasn't. Even though it's been years since I read the other books (or seen the movies, even), it was fairly easy to pick up the story again, and mostly enjoyable to read. Not epic by any means, but a respectable addition. I was glad to read something from Jessica's point of view. "

" This was painfully hard to get through, but i managed it. "

" The years have not been kind to the lady Jessica. If only there had been a way to save her daughter Alia from the maddness of her Other memory. "

" I will make a review over the weekend and hopefully give credence to the three stars that I have given this book. "

" not a bad read, but compared to the rest of this series it just feels like theres something missing..... "

" Hardly necessary. It was enjoyable in parts, but I really can't get behind the fact that, as a teenager, Paul ran away and joined the circus. "

" Another installmnent in the still growning Dune saga. It's been so long since I read Dune Messiah I can't really say how well this book fits in as a sequel, but it was well done and entertaining. "

" Awesome and uber sad at the end. "

" I read Dune 40 years ago, and this is my first look at a sequel. I enjoyed the myth but the story is very loose and doesn't have much to it. I couldn't help wondering if having two authors weakened it "

" 2nd book in another 4 book grouping within the Dune world. This one is more about Jessica, after Paul disappears into the desert, follows Dune Messiah. Enjoyed this one a whole lot better then Paul of Dune. "

" The books written by Hebert and Anderson just have no comparison to Frank's. The only reason I continue to read the Dunes by them is because it says Dune on it. I just can't help myself. "

" It wasn't what I originally expected, but I did love it! I'm excited about the new on coming out this fall. "

" It would have gotten 4 stars, I think, if I had tried to reread the entire Dune universe and put it where it belongs, in the middle of Frank's originals. Brian has done a great job of finding the original voice. Don't be a purist, add The Winds of Dune to your journey through Arrakis. "

" Not sure why I bothered. "

" Good hole filler "

" It was a good book, but not great. It had all the political intrigue, but was missing something. "

" actually got this as an audio book ( won it in a twitter contest ) not the best dune book - actually - pretty useless as far as the 'story' is concerned - I felt it was mostly filler material about unimportant characters "

" I got about 1.5 chapters in to this and decided I couldn't myself through it. It felt like watching a b-grade movie with bad actors. :( "

" So far it's very good. This series is filling in gaps Frank Herbert left in the Dune universe and they do a pretty good job. "

" could have done without this book, done to cash in for a few extra dollars! "

" Started and needed to stop as i had skipped the previous books. "

" It's always nice to revisit the Dune universe. It's not one of the best of the new Dune books, but it's still enjoyable. There will never be another Frank Herbert, but his son and Kevin Anderson do an admirable job of carrying on the spirit of the universe and characters Frank created. "

" If you are a Dune fan read it. "

" Awesome and uber sad at the end. "
