I'll second that. I loved Dune. Excellent stuff. But as I read further on into the series, I began to realise that Frank Herbet was slowly disappearing up his own backside. Don't touch Chapter House Dune. All I could do was read on in horror and occasionally cry in a small voice, cry for help. No-one came.
Come to think of it, 'Atreides', 'Harkonnen' and 'Corrino' are actually not that bad when compared to the sequels. At least we get to see characters we already understand (as opposed to the superintelligent cardboard cutouts in the later novels)
