Re: Dune
The rest of the Dune books aren't really the same kind of thing. The universe portrayed in Dune is very different to the one that is introduced in Dune Messiah - all the events of Dune are assumed to have taken place, but their significance and exactly how much sense they make is fairly different - indeed, in some readings (mine, for example) the first few books in some ways invalidate all the books that came before them in the series.
Give them a try anyway, whilst the reviews are a mixed bag you might enjoy them. God Emp o' Dune is generally regarded as the best of the following books, but you really do need Messiah and Children to understand it.
