Summary

The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now, the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's power, have colonized a green world—and are tuning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile.

Chapterhouse Dune is the last book Frank Herbert wrote before his death: A stunning climax to the epic Dune legend that will live on forever.

Nice but unfinished

It's interesting, it's not the same as the original (of course not) which feels like so long ago. Fortunately a sequel exists that does conclude the story and I for one enjoyed the further adventures of Duncan and Co as they encounter the old couple and resolve the story in a way I found quite satisfying.

a great book

What made the experience of listening to Chapterhouse Dune the most enjoyable?

I found this to be as engaging as the original dune book. Really kept me enthralled the whole way through

Who was your favorite character and why?

I generally followed all the lead characters, a strong cast made it difficult to pick any single character out

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The final twist was a perk, was it all going just a bit too well

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not massively, I was hooked from beginning to end

Any additional comments?

A great listen

Clever story. Interesting ideas.

Cloning and cybernetics and the continuation of the human race.

If each cell held consciousness, you could go back to the origin of the race.

Not sure it needed three narrators, but fine.

I look forward to reading the follow on novels by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson.

spoiled by annoying switches between readers

too many readers with different voices and pronunciations ruined the experience for me- very annoying

I'm sad it is over.

I've very much enjoyed listening through Frank Herbert's Dune series this past 8 months. I don't think there is another universe to this quality avaliable for me to explore. I will miss all of these characters deeply.

I can't recommend this experience enough.

Poor Production Values

The story is on par with Frank Herberts other titles, I enjoyed it though it does concentrate on one group a little too much. The main problem with this recording is the voice actors themselves. A 16+ hour book itself is not unusual, so I can't understand why they chose to divide the recording bewteen so many different actors, they don't even give each actor specific plot lines to read, they just change the reader randomly and what is worse absolutely no consideration is given to pronounciation, every actor pronounces names or titles differently, it's very jarring and spoils the feel of the book.

TLDR: A good book spoiled by inconsistent readers.

Voice actors

Only one of the voice actor was good, the main one. The rest were hard to follow, no distraction between dialogue and normal text .

Great Story, Great Performance

Story is awesome, the readers are great at their performances and bringing the story to life. It's very long, but at no point did I feel it to much. I was sad when I'd finished the "book"

Back on track

I felt the series was getting stranger and stranger but this one pulled it back on track.

patchy performance

If you are going to have a cast recording, at least get them to pronounce the different race names the same way, very distracting.
