“Very good book. Long and dry beginning, with a lot of politics (the reason I knocked off a star), but very intriguing story and environment.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Took me a while to get into it. Gom jabbar.”

• Rated 4 stars

“This is not what I expected at all. For one, the movie and the mini-series looked way too nerdy to me... and I'm quite proud of having nerdy interests, so that's certainly saying something. So in all honestly, I expected not to like this book very much until I read the first chapter. Some parts blew me away, while others gripped me with suspense (particularly the first encounter with a sandworm). The complexity of it all—its many characters, its deep politics, its unique ideas—could explode one's head if handled by a lesser writer, but Herbert does a very good job of keeping things organized and, more importantly, entertaining.

And maybe it's just my imagination, but I saw a ton of what I thought were hidden messages. Whether this was Herbert's intention or not, it worked for me.”

“classic”

• Rated 4 stars

“A timeless classic, effortlessly painting an image of a bleak and distant future full of intrigue, assasination, betrayal, epic battles and courage. Dune is easy to read despite its number of pages (more than 500) has a great storyline full of very believable characters that keep you turning the pages, a sci-fi thrill-ride that won't disappoint. The film was equally fantastic, a must-read for anyone who calls themselves a serious fan of the genre.”
