Summary: The Best Science Fiction Book ever written
Review: If a person were to conduct a poll, asking science fiction fans to name their 5 favorite books, Dune would almost surely appear in at least 80% of the lists.Frank Herbert has created something remarkable, blending several intricate subplots around the central tale of Paul Atreides to form one of the most complex and riveting tales of all time. The Characterization is flawless and there are more ideas introduced in this one book than I have seen in a dozen of the same genre. Its only drawback or another novelity, depending on your opinion, its Herbert's writing style. Some, like my sister found it very off putting to be immediately thrust into the world with no proper explanation of terms such as the Bene Gesserit, the melange. Many have not progressed beyond the first 30 pages because of this, professing a sense of confusion. I however, find this to be a refreshing change from tthe usual lengthy explanations, which lend meat but no excitement to a novel. Dune is a roller coaster ride of thrills, exceptional in every way, and should be read by anyone, fans of the genre or not. Wheter u love it or loath it you must admit that it is something special.

Summary: One of those books that impact your view of life!
Review: I am currently part way through the 6th book in the series. I have read the entire series at least 6 times and will have to replace some of the deteriorating older books soon as I intend to read the series again in the future. I first read the the first book after seeing the movie 13-14 years ago. While the movie barely resembled the books, they did give faces to the characters. I rapidly collected the remainder of the series. The books teach us to look at the long view of things. The characters in the book look at centuries to obtain their goals like we would look at hours. Many of the lessons taught by Frank Herbert through the characters bear listening to.

Summary: If you want to read only one SF-Fantasy book in your life...
Review: I have read this book 20-25 times, and every time I read it I get something new from it. It's complex themes blend togather perfectly with the books main plot. I particularly loved the philosophy and the treatment of characters and delicate social issues like religon, sexuality and politics. This is a must read for any one, if u read only one SF in your lfie, make sure it is Dune. The only regret that you will have is that the book is only 400 pages.
