At the time of Dune's release, the most common sci fi novels were of the Sword and Planet genre, think John Carter of Mars, great universe also, but, common action scifi, Frank comes and introduces this lore rich universe that focused more on the politics, the humanity of the human race, just themes that no other scifi universe was offering. I highly implore you to give it another chance. Don't focus too hard on the characters, but more on the universe and it's lore. I think the book is fantastic from start to finish, but really picks up a bit after where you stopped. As I said though, it is a very long book. Almost 1,000 pages. |
I forget how old this book actually is..I may well do so, I have a few audible tokens so I could use it as background while playing games. I do know Paul becomes a great hero and I'm very much interested to see what the visions are all about. Thanks man. |
Of course, dude! Nothing like a good book to escape reality. My favorite character in the book was an early character, Dr. Yueh, which was my main reasoning for hating the new movies, they did Dr. Yeuh dirty. Legit, cut out all of his dialogue from the book basically, such an important character.
