Summary: Let your friends read this book and you shall have sanctuary
Review: I am a huge Dune fan! I Worship this book. The movie is very flabbergasting. No words can describe this book. The characters, plot,and the greed of the spice kicks @SS. Stilgar is one of my favorite characters in science fiction history. Keep worshiping this book and Shai-Hulud and you shall have sanctuary. Please E-mail me if you have any suggestions.

Summary: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Review: You must not fear either, to read Dune that is. It is a wonderful, well-written tale and was and is very innovative and draws the reader into the story. The detailed background of each place and character just deepens the sense of reality gained by this knowledgeable book. My favorite!

Summary: The Greatest Novel Ever Written
Review: Words cannot describe the depth of this book's greatness. Not only is Dune the greatest single sci-fi novel ever written, it is the greatest novel ever written. It introduces the reader to a new and fantastic world, more realistic than any other in literature. Frank Herbert was a genius. Paul is a little stiff, but at the same time, he is more "real" than most people I know. This is the first novel that I've read that wore me out reading it, that is how powerful it is. There are scenes that simply left me physically exhausted after reading them. No book I have ever read before or since has drawn me in like Dune does. Enough good things cannot be said about Dune. It is pitiful that the Modern Library skipped this in it's listing. Dune blows Ulysses, Gatsby and anything by Faulkner completely out of the water. Whether you're a sci-fi fan or not, you MUST read Dune. You will NOT regret it.

Summary: read it!! Read it twice!
Review: Definitely one of the wierdest (good) books SF has to offer. Herbert presents Paul as the classic tragic hero. In this book society has gone onto a new level, even though it is feudal. People work to ultimately perfect body and mind. As a blend of mysticism and SF, it is one of the few that work.... beautifully. But don't read any of the sequils.

Summary: THE BEST CLASSIC IN SCI-FI
Review: No one, nobody can possibly overdo the immense task of creating such an amazing, complex and profound frame for a story like Frank Herbert has done. The unbelievable depth his thinking takes us, the incredible charm of a feudal way of living in the depths of outer space, is something that really is beyond anybody's expectations. The teachings about enviroment, about the autocratic rule of emperors, the "noblesse oblige" that you find in the Great Houses Covenant are things that everyone in this world should be aware of. If you want to search in you deepest roots, if you want a book that can shatter and remake your way of thinking and living, then this series is for you. All the six titles have something to teach in bravery, fight against destiny, family, tradition and needed changes. Please go for it because it certainly deserves one star more than any other book sold here.

Summary: Plots within plots...
Review: I won't write anything here that hasn't been written before. If you read sci-fi and this book isn't on your shelf...have yourself committed...you need a head check. And please don't get it confused with the cheesey David Lynch version of the movie. Ugh!

Summary: Best Book I ever read
Review: This book goes deeply into the way that life could be or the way that it already has been. I have read this book many times and every time I read it it becomes that much better. It follows the journeys of a boy who is a prince like on one world but on Dune he is the Maud'dib who is the kind of savior for the people of Dune. It follows the many journeys of him to becoming a real savior.

Summary: THE BEST, LIFE CHANGING, AWESOM BOOK EVER WRITTEN
Review: I must say first - this book is not for everybodyIt's for pepole who can get criticised on thayere way of life, its for pepole who r ready to look at life diffrently. I don't know where in this book it's happening, but u can not see things before this book as u see them after. If it's Paul, the freman legesy or even the malange spice, Frenk Herbert has mannaged to build a world and not just a book that the rules it are diffrent - allmost perfect. From alot of sides even to prfect. Now more then 2 years after I read this book I can realy say - that book gave me more than any other book or event gave me. It gave me a new prespactive to look on the world. That book suceeded where others have failed - it's not a book with just a story (even if it's the best story) like every other book, it is a book about changing, philosophy and winning. A documentery book about several yeras that will accored ( or not ) in 8000 years. As I am trying more and more to explain this book I find it realy difficult so if you are ready for some thing else, better then the ordinary crap every where, ready to change - read it "Dune". And one other thing this book does not deserve 5 stars - it deserve one star more then any other book I have ever read.
