Dune I can understand the praise for, but Herbert's later work in the series, not so much. I was fine with Paul's development into such a morally questionable character, which was present in Dune too, but the later works felt forced. Almost like pulp sci-fi rather than the deepness and undercurrent of darkness that was in Dune. The sequels failed for me for the same reason the movies do: Dune says everything it can, any shorter or longer and it wouldn't work. It doesn't need sequels, but it can't really be abridged either. That's just my reaction to them though, and I really can't stress enough how much I loved Dune.
