Summary: This amazing book creates a history...read it!
Review: Dune is amazing. Frank Herbert created a world, a government, religion, language, and a three hundred year history. The part that makes this book so great is that it takes problems and situations from our lifetime and puts them in their uncut form in another world. The ideas he presents are timeless, and the beliefs are intriguing. He's created a world down to the bare scientific facts. If your into sci-fi, or even just politics, grab this one quickly!

Review: Dune is the perfect sci-fi book. The characters are three dimensional, the setting great.Unlike the movie (which was unusually dull), this book is entertaining and an amazing piece of writing. I've started on the second book and plan to read the entire series.A must for all science fiction fans.

Summary: The most complete universe ever written about
Review: Frank Herbert was a brilliant writer, his books show that. Every aspect of civilization as we know it are invested here: Politics, Economics, Religion, Society. From the complex breeding of the BGs, to the total and complete dependance on the Spice, conflict and alliances rise up and fall under the influence of the Kwisatz Haderach. And when you've finished reading it, take comfort, there's more to follow! Messiah Dune takes you further into the future, like you never expected.

Summary: Excellent
Review: What can say that hasn't been said already? The reason I'm online now is because I am searching for the rest of the books in this saga. I don't think this book is for everyone, but if you're into sci-fi or fanasy then this book is a winner.

Summary: The first and the best
Review: Frank Herbert's Dune is one of the few books I have read more than once. While it's not the easiest book to read, it is one of the most gripping tales of science-fantasy I have ever read. I recommend this novel to all lovers of sci-fi.

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.
