Review: Dune


Dune
Dune by Frank Herbert

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



There were parts of this novel that I thought were brilliant. The planet of Arrakis, the ecology, the spice, the worms, the religion of the fremen, the religion of the Bene Geserit. But there were many irritating things as well, starting with Paul and his mother Jessica. Those two characters seemed quite dated. They made this novel feel like a 1950s YA novel and a irritating one at that. But if you ignored the front story and concentrated instead on the amazing backstory this was an amazing novel.
