"A great sci-fi novel set in a future where human can travel to worlds without moving, that source for this miracle is on one planet. Though the state of galactic affairs are not as one would hope them to be, as the Houses of the Landsraad work for the prestige from the Padishah Emperor. Worth reading as the planet Arrakis has a prophecy of someone would appear on their planet that would help light a fire of freedom!"

"A sci-fi classic. How have I not read this before now? Elaborate setting, characters, vocabulary and universe - I’m now way invested in this story and looking forward to the whole series! Recommend!"

"I don’t get why many don’t like the book, the imagery you get from the text is amazing ❤️"

"I read the first half of this book then listened to the rest. Both were enjoyable experiences! The buildup in book 2 and book 3 are so worth it. "

"Epic world building and tale, with a fascinating planet. Highly recommend to read with a highlighter to keep track of details and characters."
Nathan Quincy
"Enjoyable. However, be aware that this is a very male oriented universe (at least in this first book it is) and that the only queer characters are evil."

"I finally finished this one after months of reading it. It ended up not being my favorite. Its not bad or anything I just didnt like it as much as other books I’ve read. I think it was mostly because I couldn’t figure out what the book was about. Was it about making Dune a better place to live? Defeating the harkkonens? The freemen legends? I wasn’t sure but by the end you realize it was none of those which makes it just as confusing. I wish it went into more of the freemen legends. I think I just wish it was about one of the things listed above instead of whatever ended up happening. There was also a weird time skip more than halfway through the book and then it was just moving really fast. "

"Haven’t been reading in quite awhile…kinda lost time to do it…life. However a book from my past that do recommend is Clive Barker’s “Imajica”. Been awhile as well but I’ve always remembered that i thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a lil strange…but should keep you wanting more."
