I read the original Dune years ago, and I think I enjoyed it. Back then, my mother picked up the prequel trilogy written by Herbert's son, which I've only now just started reading.

They're ok. I find MiniHerb's writing style a bit too simplistic for me to really get into it (especially coming from the Hyperion books). I'm just about finished the second book, and I'm just having a hard time letting it gel.

Also, are the other books in the main story worth reading?
