Some readers don't like the 2nd book because some of the heroes from Dune turn out to be villains, and readers can get too emotionally invested in the characters.

If you can deal with that, then you'll enjoy all of the first trilogy and God Emperor. I share the opinion that God Emperor is awesome.

But these are definitely not "books for teens." They are often deep and profound -- not something that you can handle on Audible while cooking dinner and the TV is on in the background.

Spoilers much? You could have just said that some readers don't like the second book...

I am 2 chapters into Dune and while its a lot to digest, I have been completely sucked in. Thus far I know that there is a human names Paul that maybe has some forseight super powers and is being brought from Caladan to Arrakis to take over for his family's moratl enemy, the Harkonen. The Harkonnen seem to be a mafia type family that has some frickery planned for the boy. I also know there are robots that look and act like humans but seem to adhere to direct orders.
