32. As a matter of fact, you're right!
The writing is much better than in the previous two books, and I find the story substantially more interesting. It almost seems as though Frank paused for breath at some point and calmed down before diving into it. There's a better sense of control and restraint in the writing IMO, and the characters are more fully rendered.

At some point I may need to go back and read Dune again, but probably not for a while.


Are any of the non-Frank Dune books worth reading?
