The two Dune movies that came out recently are not based on this book. These are prequel books written by Frank Herbert's son, Brian, which have not been highly rated or generally thought to match the quality of his father's books.

If you want to read the books the movie is based on you want to read Dune by Frank Herbert.

I read this one and it felt like a bad fan fiction. I couldn't get myself to finish the trilogy. I'd skip and focus on the Frank Herbert novels instead.

Good book, read when I was a kid and introduced me to the entire universe. I remember it fondly as well as all of the rest of the prequel books.

The Dune: Prophecy TV show is supposed to be inspired the by Great Schools of Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert's son. It's based very far in the past to the original Dune book, back to when the Bene Gesserit first began consolidating their power.

This book looks like it's more of an immediate prequel to the events in Dune by Frank Herbert and Dune the movies that recently came out.

The prequels are enjoyable to read and go into a lot of background of answering how things came to be in the original Dune book. The original books by Frank Herbert get progressively worse and less enjoyable to read. I gave up on the series after struggling to finish God Emperor and then getting part way through Chapterhouse: Dune. It's really bad writing.

Vermillion Hells, these books are terrible.

If you ever wondered what happened in any period of time that was not described in the actual Dune series, rest assured that Brian has covered it.
