Reading - The Fifth Elephant

Is Dune any good? If it is, I might just get a copy. :P
I've lately given up scifi after reading the Ender's Game sequels.

*splutter*
Any good!? ANY GOOD!? It's one of the best books ever. Read it.

I've avoided the Ender's Game sequels, personally. Heard bad things.

I've heard bad things about both the Ender and Dune sequels, and thus haven't read beyond the originals

It is quite good; very good look on things. Also, I don't think I've ever seen Death as a girl. It's a good twist. I'm surprised by the lack of fire in Hell though.

It gets so much better than the first book, too. (With the possible exception of the last part of the first book, with Death, because that's absolutely beautiful.)

When I die, I totally want that Death to show up.
