Frank Herbert is my hero, the #1 reason being that he dropped out of college so that he might educate himself, as pertaining to his own interests; the 2nd reason of course being his fantastic prose. Dune has about everything any Sci Fi fan could want. I was most drawn to the capabilities of the logic driven Mentats; the political power struggles of the Houses—all who are under allegiance to House Corrino; the power held by the Fremen (we the people are Fremen, and we certainly need a Paul); a world in which Spice Melange is critical; and the relationships of a family in a new and chaotic world; that is the desert world Arrakis, which provides many ecological problems to be solved by Muad'Dib. The Kwisatz Haderach is simply wonderful to watch rise to the apex of power. In all his blue-eyed glory, to crushingly humble the Padishah Emperor, the Reverend Mother, the Spacing Guild and all other enemies. There are so many facets of Dune one could divulge on; sandworms, prana-bindu training.... It is a Universe unto itself, complete.Read full review
This product arrived in excellent condition and promptly. Anyone new to the book will just consume it and want more. Frank Herbert delivers a first rate and sweeping saga that keeps the reader begging to more. And, DUNE, the first book of the series delivers wonderfully. I highly recommend it

This is hands down my favorite story of all time and I read A LOT! I just gave it to my grandson who's also a huge reader. Exciting, thoughtful, great characters, it just has everything & is extremely well written. Herbert was born for this.

I bought this book for a Christmas gift for my friend's daughter who loves to read. This is my favorite book and it must be read before you die. It has everything in it that you would want out of a science fiction novel. From politics to religion, warfare to a Messiah, folding space and sandworms,it has it all. It is often compared to 'The Lord of The Rings', and rightly so it is a masterpiece of literature.
