The first book was awesome. I think the second book was ok, but disliked dead characters getting resurrected for apparently inane drama. The book I finally stopped at was whatever one it was that the main character turns into a telepathic immortal sand worm and was abjectly awful.
I think they're making the right choice. Dune has some amazing world building, but the series got muddled down into whatever drug fueled fugue state and stopped being interesting.
In my opinion, God Emperor of Dune is a masterpiece and nearly equal to Dune. It's pretty well liked by fans of the series, from what I've seen.
I read it when I was in my late teens or early twenties, so what little I remember reflects in my impression of the book at that time. Take my recommendation with a grain of salt!
