OH, absolutely not! You should read them through Chapterhouse. Chapterhouse, to me, is the most nuanced and deep of all of them. (If one reads Dune as strictly Hero's Journey/action-adventure, then, yes, stopping after 1 might be an idea.)

AFTER that, though...no. the Kevin whatsisface and son books are just...not Dune. They might be something else and might be fine for that something else (like Star Wars spinoffs), but Dune, they ain't.

Just my $.02.
