page 1960s sci-fi epic in approximately two weeks。 I must have really loved Dune。 It doesn't take the calculation of a Mentat to figure out that I loved this book。The story is just 。 。 。 remarkable。 Herbert's world building is unlike anything I've ever read， and the realization that this book is what all of modern sci-fi was inspired by kind of hit me like a brick。 This is one of the best sci-fis I've ever been able to read， and I fell so deeply in love with the worlds， the characters， and the circumstances。 House Atreides has my allegiance forever， and I bow before Leto and Jessica。Speaking of the circumstances， the stakes were also pretty high。 The Harkonnens and Sardaukar as villains are some of the only villains that have managed to actually put fear for the characters into me， and I loved that。 Too often villains have to be made "understandable" and with some kind of completely relatable backstory， and it leaves the audience with a watered-down boring villain who isn't even scary， but one you're just supposed to feel bad for。 Enter Baron Vladimir Harkonnen。 Villains can be terrifying and horrifying without being misunderstood。Additionally， there's something about Chosen One™ tropes that have always made me finicky and rather selective whenever I read them， but Dune is completely original in that way， and it takes the Chosen One™ trope， puts it on its head， and literally spins it。 Like it is a chosen one trope， but it's not。Herbert's philosophical and political commentary is also phenomenal。 This book is so wise。 Legitimately， there were times I would read a Bene Gesserit litany and just put down the book for a second and say "wow， that's deep。" I'll probably get the fear litany tattooed on my toe at some point。 （Just kidding）First and foremost， I must echo the wise words of my beloved Parker: "no thoughts， head empty， only Lady Jessica。"I forever respect， stan， and kneel before the true hero of this book。 Literally I am without words to describe my love for Lady Jessica。 The woman is absolutely remarkable， and she is my ultimate woman crush。 The Bene Gesserit order， as manipulative and corrupt as it is， created the beautiful Lady Jessica。 And Lady Jessica is the rare exception to the rule。 Her cutthroat， Bene Gesserit skills combined with her true， genuine femininity made her the wisest， strongest， gentlest， and most relatable character in the entire story。 She's a Bene Gesserit， but she's a mother， a woman， and a born leader。 *crying* I LOVE YOU， JESSICA。 （view spoiler）[*goes to write Leto/Jessica sad hours fics on AO3 because we stan the goodest duke and his wifey* （hide spoiler）]Now I'm gonna talk about Paul。 Since 。 。 。 you know， he's a character too。 I have a lot of feelings。 And I don't know if I'm okay。 Honestly， I love a good Tortured Protagonist™， and Paul was definitely next level。 I love him deeply， and his rite of passage and growth and coming-into himself was a well-rounded arc。 He went from hating himself to fully embracing his nature。 He became the leader his father always made him to be， and the savior his mother always created him to become。 But I also 。 。 。 have a lot of problems with his decisions， and I feel like things will come back to bite him。 He's the Kwisatz Haderach， so naturally he's the embodiment of the Space Time Continuum and Knows All™， but the logical precision and emotional deficiency of his later choices is ridiculously unnerving。 The slow descent of timid， self-conscious boy Paul into logical man Paul was 。 。 。 interesting， to say the least。 Jessica is often the only voice of emotion （and reason hehe） in his life， and when he （view spoiler）[ FREAKING CHOSE TO MARRY IRULAN AND MAKE CHANI HIS CONCUBINE LITERALLY AFTER HE WATCHED WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIS PARENTS， （hide spoiler）] I UNDERSTOOD WHY， BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WAS OKAY。 As for all of the other characters， I have soft spots for all of them。 I love Gurney Halleck 。 。 。 a lot。 My sister and I have started calling him our Viking Poet™， and he deserves all the songs in the world。 Chani felt somewhat underdeveloped to me， but I felt that was done on purpose。 I never doubter her love for Paul， but I would have enjoyed more Chani on her own， as we saw with Jessica。 She needed more time on her own to develop as a character， instead of suddenly being thrust into a romantic relationship with Paul after twenty to thirty pages of knowing and barely talking to him。 But I do love Chani， and I'm super excited to see where her story goes。 She DESERVED SO MUCH MORE。I have a lot of things to say about the Fremen that I just can't get into right now， but I initially was just as afraid of them and unsure of them as Paul and Jessica were， but I feel like I grew to love the Fremen just as they did。 It did take a little time， but I did grow to love them in their own spicy way。 IN REGARD TO THE MOVIE。After reading the book， let's briefly hold a gom jabbar up to this thing。Tiny Timmy C。 has all my respects， and his portrayal of Paul Atreides was an absolutely glorious performance。 God bless the Gorgeous Boss Woman™ who is Rebecca Ferguson for her immaculate portrayal of Jessica。 The acting was fantastic。 Oscar Isaac pleasantly surprised me。 Kudos， man。 After Poe， I was beginning to think your spice days were over。 But the Beard Days™ have just begun。Zimmer's score is mesmerizing， and I've had it on loop during the Academic Crunch Time™ that is November。 Villeneuve's film really shines， and as a director he's magnificent。 His use of wide camera shots really captures the *vastness* of Arrakis， the dialogue is almost verbatim to parts of the book。 I've seen it three times， so。 I do think Zendaya was miscast as Chani， and I still hold to that verdict， but I'm looking forward to seeing her develop in the second part。 All in all （man that took thirty minutes to write） this was a journey。 I'm officially part of the Dune fandom， and I love it。 Naturally， I've already bought Dune: Messiah which I shall be starting post haste。 More Jessica and Chani with a side of Paul， please。 We stan our strong women。

Hoo boy， was this a bit of a slog for me to get through… Slow， repetitive/redundant， often grating on my nerves with the endless cultural appropriation and the savior complex。 I know， that’s part of the point of the story （that and the environmental elements） but the way it is written does not do Dune any favors。With that being said， I cannot wait to see the 2021 film。 I have a feeling the film will be quite the visual experience。 But with THAT being said， I doubt I will be any more impressed by Hoo boy， was this a bit of a slog for me to get through… Slow， repetitive/redundant， often grating on my nerves with the endless cultural appropriation and the savior complex。 I know， that’s part of the point of the story （that and the environmental elements） but the way it is written does not do Dune any favors。With that being said， I cannot wait to see the 2021 film。 I have a feeling the film will be quite the visual experience。 But with THAT being said， I doubt I will be any more impressed by the story， or the repetitive cultural and religious themes it contains。 Hopefully the dialogue will be improved。 Even so… 。。。more

3。5⭐️ I am very impressed with this book despite how dense and heavy it was at times。 I really enjoy this world building plot heavy universe that’s being built， however some parts moved too slow， while others seemed to lack details that they could have used。

My copy of Dune is broken up into lots of different sections so I’m not even sure if I’ve read the entire first book。 What I did read was dense， complex and fascinating。 The world building sucked me in。 I’m looking forward to reading the other books。

Abby ，

4。5 starsI hardly understood what was going on yet it was SO GOOD

Tony ，

Dune has been added to my favorite books。 It is a strange and brilliant tale。 Totally should be considered a classic。 The characters are great， my faves are Paul， Duncan Idaho， Duke Leto and Chani。 The villain， the sick and evil baron reminds me of Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter， not because they are both fat but because they are so evil。 I have now read it twice and I completely read it this time。 The book and tHE new movie are equally good。

Brydie Barr ，

Maybe it was the hype， everyone telling me how amazing and groundbreaking the world building and story was that lifted my expectations of this book so that it was always going to be disappointment but I personally struggled through the story， some pages I had to force myself to turn as I rolled my eyes at the outdated discourses。

Dnf。 Concept was good but the world building was too slow for me

Did I read this book because I liked the movie and wanted some idea of what happened next？ Yes。 Yes， I did。 It was already apparent to me before starting to read that I would probably like the movie more， since the main appeal of it was the visuals。 And of course， if you've got Hans Zimmer on the score， you're set for the soundtrack。 The book obviously has neither of these things to benefit from。 What it has to carry it are the plot， and further insight into the characters that can't properly be Did I read this book because I liked the movie and wanted some idea of what happened next？ Yes。 Yes， I did。 It was already apparent to me before starting to read that I would probably like the movie more， since the main appeal of it was the visuals。 And of course， if you've got Hans Zimmer on the score， you're set for the soundtrack。 The book obviously has neither of these things to benefit from。 What it has to carry it are the plot， and further insight into the characters that can't properly be displayed in cinema。 I will not deny the importance of Dune in sci-fi fantasy as a whole， but I can't say I'm particularly attached to it personally。 I wasn't very fond of the pacing of it， and while Herbert's writing is fine， I wasn't as absorbed into the story as I wished I was。 If you're thinking about reading this book solely because you liked the movie and wanted to know what happens next （like me）， take this as blanket permission to look up the plot on the wiki instead lol。 You probably won't miss much， and you'll certainly save yourself some time instead of going through the approximately 600 pages of actually reading Dune。 。。。more
