okay, maybe I have been a bit too harse.
Let's say that it is more difficult for him to write better about Dune than it was for his father.
Let's keep the reason why that is so in the dark. ;)

Anyhoo, if you liked the originals then these will appeal you too.

The prequels are a nice read but they are not as good as the originals.  In that way that the prequels are more "mass consumer" written stories than the originals.  The, how to say it..., acceptance level of these is lower.  It will appeal more people than the original series would.  I believe this is done because the writer is not as good or experienced as his father and also in the hopes of selling as much as possible.

The 'House' books and 'Butlerian Jihad' books are more commercially written than Dune, original series.
