This might be the greatest piece of science fiction ever written, not just because of the lengths the author goes to describe each character with depth and state their intentions in such a manner that is relatable to the reader. The complexity of the planet of Arrakis and the total immersion of the reader into Fremen culture, as well as the detailed descriptions of political tensions bring this book's world building to the next level. It is astounding how one author can create such a complex world from scratch and write about every aspect of an imaginary culture and way of life.
This is a classic si-fi novel. There is a large amount of world building spread over 6 novels, prequels (The whole 9 yards) and Yes! Worms! lots of them. There is a reason why lots of peeps on GR read this. It's good! Not five star. I recommend this to people.
I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
J'ai lu, puis fait une pause. J'ai alors repris depuis le début et re arrêter. Et relu. Et re arrêter. À un moment quand ça veut pas ça veut pas.
great story, great world building.the only reason for not giving 5 stars is pauls main character syndrome, i feel like he cannot fail.and the sexism. i know, it's the 60s, but the lack of military women and the way the fremen treat their women started to annoy me. (it also barely passes the bechdel test)
