I'd disagree if you all are talking about the rest of the series that Herbert wrote. They weren't as good as the first (though I did think the last two came close), but they weren't bad. I'm a Herbert fan, so Herbert's "not bad" is much better than most other books, IMO.

But the movie and mini series were pretty bad, and books by Herberts son and that hack he hired are truly, truly awful things.
