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)
Once again this is one of My favorite classics. To me the storyline has such real world relevance in some of the issues that are happening now. Each time I have read this book, I've found something New that makes me think of the world today.But the thing I most love about the storyline, is the overall arc of Paul's duty and sense of loyalty that he attaches to the Fremen people.Out of the trilogy, this book is My favorite because it has an overall sense of hope. I'm totally on Paul and Chani's side and I n my romantic heart, they would have had a HEA. But Dune is not a romance book. But at least Chani's strong and not some weak female lead in the story.
