Rating: Summary: amazingly imaginative! Review: a spectacular example of herbert's award winning imagination. This book is the pinnacle of science fiction.
Rating: Summary: One of the Greatest Novels of all times. Review: Dune is quite simply one of the greatest novels of all times. If there ever was a book that could transport you to another world -- this is it. After I had read the last in the Dune series I felt as if I had passed a milestone in my life.

Rating: Summary: My Bible Review: If there is any one book that shaped my life, it would be Dune. Thought provoking, inspirational, exciting, and above all, believable. Written as a prophecy (see first page), it really makes you wonder if his writing is an analogy of the present, or an irrefutable message from the future that goes to show time repeats itself.
Rating: Summary: I am thirsty Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read . He describes the desert so well that you will have to read this book with a glass of water beside you
Rating: Summary: The Best Science Fiction Book Ever Written Review: Dune is the most amazing, most richly detailed, and most thought provoking book I have ever read. Herbert's insight into religion, society, and the dangers of a messiah are absolutely frightening in their accuracy and foresight. If you are looking for a thought provoking, exciting, and deeply entertaining book, read Dune.
Rating: Summary: unbelievably boring and tedious description without end Review: A friend told me that DUNE was different from the run of the mill sci-fi endless spillage of adverbs and adjectives. After three chapters of the most tedious and unnecessary descriptions of the tiniest details I decided he didn't know what he was talking about. Boring junk with a capital J!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant. The best book I've read in AGES Review: This book stopped me from doing my homework! I got this book on Sunday and finished it on Thursday! I really needed a good book to read and while browsing through a second hand book shop I saw an old edition staring at me from a shelve. One of my friends had been going on about the series for AGES, so I decided to see what it was all about......I got in the car and put the book down on Thursday just before lunch. If ANYONE is interested in Sci-Fi/adventure/action/romance etc.....READ IT!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: A true classic and a must have for any fan of Science Fiction. Dune is the best book I have ever read in my life!
Rating: Summary: What more can be said? Review: Everybody else has said it all so well already, so I won't try to review the book, except to say that it is great. Frank Herbert also wrote five sequels to this book before he died. While they are not as good as the original, I reccomend that you read them anyway. If I may also recommend a few other books which I consider to be great: Lord of the Rings (by the Tolkien), Hyperion (Dan Simmons), Ender's Game and Speaker of the Dead (Orson Scott Card).
