However, these Dune novels were written by Frank Herbert's son & the son's co-author. Frank Herbert was an excellent novelist. RIP to Frank Herbert. His son & son's co-author are average novelists. Frank Herbert's original Dune novels (Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, & Chapterhouse: Dune) were excellent. Frank Herbert also wrote other good sci-fi novels. I take my time reading, analyzing, & admiring Frank Herbert's writing talent. I even read his novels multiple times to get a better understanding.
His son & son's co-author wrote 2 sequels to Frank Herbert's original Dune novels. The 2 sequels were based on Frank Herbert's notes & outlines. However, the 2 sequels are above average at best. Furthermore, his son & son's co-author wrote a bunch of Dune prequel novels & a few novels that overlapped with the original Dune novels. IMO, all of these prequels & overlapping novels are above average at best. Thus I recommend borrowing these novels from the local library (paper copy &/or ebook). Read them once & fast. Then move on to better novels. You could also skip them entirely & focus on the better stuff.
For those not familiar, here are instructions for how to read these on e-readers like Kindle or Nook:

Supposedly based on Frank's notes anyway.
I'm gonna guess the son edited, unintentionally downgraded, & foolishly misinterpreted lots of stuff from his father's work, &/or his father's notes & outlines for the sequel(s) were very rough ideas that would have been heavily redacted & improved by Frank Herbert through the natural writing process. The son & his co-author's 2 sequel novels (& other Dune novels) felt like low-quality bootleg copies or cheap imitations.

This is exactly correct.
Thanks for saving me from writing all that out.

As "proof" of the notes existence Brian posted an image of a floppy disk that was labeled "Dune 7" or something like that.
Frank Herbert did talk to his publisher & journalists about working on Dune 7 (supposedly the final Dune sequel). He told them he already made substantial progress. Then he unfortunately died while recovering from cancer surgery.

I commend you for a balanced opinion explaining for those unaware of the situation. I would have said "This is a great bundle if you enjoy purchasing trash bags full of week-old meat remains sloshing in gray water"
Just to be clear: Frank Herbert's son & son's co-author (aka, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson) are average to above average novelists. They are NOT bad writers. IMO, their Dune novels are good for superficial, easy entertainment. It's like watching Tom & Jerry cartoon, the Friends TV series, or the Transformers movie series.
On the other hand, Frank Herbert had a superior understanding of linguistics, psychology, sociology, & economics. He also had a better understanding of ecological effects between humans & wildlife. His novels (Dune & other fictional worlds) entertained & educated.
They also do a great job building out the origin stories for the universe.
