Summary: The best book I ever read
Review: Dune is the best book I ever read. I know it is not a good argument to persuade you, but it is the only thing I can say. Read it.

Summary: Overrated [title] that is on my ten all-time worse books list
Review: ... My review can be summed up in three words: pompous, pretentious, and tedious. The characters are cardboardish and cartoonish. Many details are exceedingly unpleasant. The plot is contrived and uninteresting. And I found the soceity described in the book's pages to be unlikely and difficult to conceive. Easily the worst major sci-fi book I have ever read, and one of the worse books. This is the only book I have ever given a 1 rating to. I only lament that I cannot give it a zero.

Summary: Awesome Sci-fi
Review: I was one of the few who enjoyed the film DUNE and that's what led me to read the book. The technology discussed in the book,Ornithopters, Stillsuits, and Space folding ships were some the most imaginative concepts I've read about in years. All that and a great story drew me deep into the the world of Arrakis and Frank Herbert. Get this book !!

Summary: Masterful
Review: Science fiction with a heavy touch of fuedal fantasy, well plotted, well written, great characters. This is not a book to be left sitting on your "to read" list, or on your bookshelf. Not much here for the hard sci fi fan, but rich for the lover of the language, for readers who demand characters they can care about, and for lovers of classic intrigue and betrayal. Don't judge this book by the movie. If you think Crichton's novels get hacked in Hollywood, you haven't seen anything yet. If I was Herbert, I'd have gone through the roof at the movie. the book is just so, so much more.

Summary: Buy, read, worship.
Review: This is the darn best novel I have ever read, a completeness unprecedented in the history of science fiction (if one disregards Heinlein's Multiverse for a sec or two). In refference to Paul Muad'Dib and the Mentants I hope there will never be anything like the Water of Life for a male, though the variante for the Mothers is quite a positive feature, for Dune, the Fremen and the Human Race. I wonder how Lord Leto II would review the book, he's the one who knows all this best of all, or was it ol' Frank .. :) Anyhow, get this classic novel, read it , love SF.

Summary: Best novel I read when I was 16.
Review: For sheer scope, coupled with the depth of characterization this book cannot have an equal. My original copy that I purcahsed as a teenager has long fallen apart because of excessive rereading. This is a book that I can go back to again and again and find something new. I read it for just the thrill I get from certain passages; like when the Emperor says to Count Fenring "Kill this upstart Duke" and the Count "Knew that he could kill him. He knew it for a fact". Yet, he declines! The later books in the Dune saga to me are all lesser works. 'Dune' will forever be, my favorite.

Summary: A modern epic.
Review: Absolutely the best fiction book I have read, Dune is an increadably thoughtful insight into the workings of human thought and ecology. Beyond the brilliant concepts Herbert not only creates an amazing cast of fully developed characters but a novel and exciting Universe. From the Bene Gesserit to Mentats and Truthsayers to Paul himself Herbert awakens the sleeper to the potential of human thought and awareness. If you havent read it yet your missing out, and if you've already read it read it again.

Summary: Dune- It is THE best novel I've read
Review: Not only is the book a masterpiece but it surpasses any expectations that I got when I read it. The way Frank Herbert describes the politicalness of a futuristic empire is fantastic. And the detailed way he describes the Fremen and all other culteres makes you believe that there is the Bene Gesserit, the planet of IX and even the evil Harkonnens. It is just an all around great book that any reader would enjoy.

Summary: Best Novel Of 20th Century?
Review: Is there any doubt that Dune deserves a shot at the title of "Best Novel of the 20th Century"? The book transcends the S-F genre... it is the finest book of our times. I have faith that it will survive the filter of time and its zealots will sustain it forever!
