Dune

Rating:
Summary: What fiction should be
Review: I read Dune once a year to remind myself what excellent writing is. I love science fiction and have very high standards for it. Herbert created a world so completely and with such depth that it seems to breathe on its own. It is the best novel I have ever read and will definitely stand the test of time.

Rating:
Summary: Probably the most enjoyable book you'll ever read.
Review: Do yourself a favor and read Dune. But don't read the sequels, they are a bit of a letdown after reading the masterpiece. Each one gets worse and worse. Whatever you do, don't see the movie. It's horrible and doesn't do the book justice. It will annoy you.

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating and imaginative classic. Do not miss this.
Review: I first read it when I was 12, and still pick it up every 3 years or so to suck it all in again. There are very few books that I honor with a re-read. His characters grab your imagination and stay with you the rest of your life. There's battles, intrigue, politics, big business and even Ornithopters. And to this day I'd give anything to sit astride a racing Sandworm and glide across the vast sandy expanses of Dune World.

Summary: One of the best books I've read! Wonderful vision
Review: Frank Herbert is no doubt one of the best writers of our time. The Dune books are classics, not because they are old, but because Herberts vision is timeless. These books will wrap you up in their story and make you wish there were more then just six of them. Happy reading!

Summary: An unforgetable vision!!
Review: Dune is a rare find! In the 1st few pages you are transported to another world that begs you to get lost inside it. It is hands down THE BEST book I have ever read. A combination of high tech space age adventure and gothic beauty. Please read it!!!

Summary: It's the best book I've ever read!
Review: Dune, in my opinion, is the absolute best novel of any genre in the entire world. Frank Herbert is an absolute artist, and he crafted the book incredibly exquisitely. The story is gripping, the plot intense, and the character absolutely pulsing with life. Herbert created an entire universe with Dune, full of incredible devices and amazing people. I have read all six of the Dune chronicles, and, while the other five aren't quite as good (it's almost impossible to write something as well as Dune), I still highly recommend all of them. An excellent, excellent book, highly recommended for science fiction fans and all others.

Summary: This book is , in my opinion, is the best of all six.
Review: My name is Jason. I have collected and read all six books in the Dune series. I rate this one 5 stars because it has action, drama, a touch of comedy, and is all around very entertaining. I can't really put my finger on what makes the others not as good. They just seem to be missing something. I rate Dune 5 stars and the other five books make four to four &1/2 stars on my scale hands down. I guess what makes Dune better than the others for me is I saw the movie first and there-for was familier with the story. What ever the case; I just plain like it.

Summary: My favorite book
Review: I don't really want to say mucb beacuse so many other people have already praised it . . . DUNE ROCKS!

Rating:
Summary: A definite must read!
Review: Science fiction, fantasy, and politics collide to make this one of the best books ever written. Frank Herbert is a true master of the written art!

Summary: Exquisite! A mind-opening novel, that teaches and charms.
Review: So rare are the GREAT books ... But this is one of them. This is SF on all levels, from 'space-folding' to mental warriorship, with wonders unravelling on each page. I first read the entire series in about a week, taking short breaks for food and sleep, scribbling furiously in my "famous quotes" notebook. Since then I re-read it in three languages, saw the movie 5 times, and turned a lot of the poetic teachings of Dune into living principles. Again and again I turn to this subject for hours of delighting discussions with the -alas!- much too hard-to-find 'Dune-literates' :))
