That question is hard to answer (but many good questions
are).
I guess what I liked is how Herbert brought so many elements together. Technology, biology, ecology, physics, psychology, anthropology, religion, politics, history.... He brought all these things together to create a version of humanity thousands of years distant from the present day, and yet it still felt very
connected to present day. The characters were great. I really liked the element of replacing machines with humans who were mutated and engineered for different purposes.
I found Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's Dune novels to be entertaining, but they just didn't have the depth that Frank Herbert's novels had.
