Really? I got hung up on the fourth book and couldn't finish.

I can understand that. Book 4 is the worst by far for me, though some people like that one the best of the bunch. Gets too bogged down in philosophy for my tastes. But books 5 and 6 are probably my favorites after book 1, though I enjoy 2 and 3 as well. It's too bad he died before he could finish what he had planned out.

You wouldn't really need to read 4 all the way through to enjoy 5 and 6 anyway, you could just do a synopsis of what happens at the end of God Emperor of Dune and go from there.
