Ben’s pushing back on Gene’s “I saw the movie, why read the books” stance: the original Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune — he draws the line there, since God Emperor of Dune is a later book neither of them has read — is a three-book arc he says “should be read by everyone.” Frank Herbert’s son Brian continued the series after his father’s death, but this recommendation is specifically the original trilogy. A boxed set of all three is sold as a single unit, making it an easy one-click pickup instead of hunting down three separate paperbacks.

Highly recommend the books, the latest movies are quite good, but, you must read the books to fully grasp the story and how it relates to events in real life over the past hundred years.
The books are generally appropriate for all ages, I read the. as a young teen.
