The thing is, I’d really like to like this book, particularly because it’s developed the legend of being a sci-fi classic. I found it in places very hard work. I also think that it is much more a product of its time than one would think. This isn’t a timeless classic like the Lord of the rings or for that matter, William Gibson Neuromancer or something similar. It does have that feeling of creation in the 1960s. I found the plot at times meandering and certainly the world building whilst impressive was difficult to access and so there or made reading it at times a little bit more of a chore than one would like. I understand that this is the start of a series by Frank Herbert , I’m not convinced I’ll be following up anymore. ( ) I'm not going to rate this, because I didn't finish it, obviously. This is just one of those books that isn't my cup of tea because the pacing is completely bogged down in the first book by political intrigue, made-up fantasy jargon and too many characters to keep track of. I don't find that particularly entertaining, and there are definitely parts where it comes off as preachy and intentionally obscure. Maybe, Frank Herbert would have been a good poet. If you didn't get the memo this book is a pretty clear allegory for colonialism in the Middle East and the spice is oil, like it doesn't take a genius. I've heard that if you have seen Lawrence of Arabia, Dune is just Science Fiction Lawrence of Arabia. I read this because the movie is coming out like, tomorrow, and hopefully that is better. I started it, dnf-ed it and then picked it up again and dnf-ed it again. I tend to have a problem with overly didactic science fiction that is meant to teach you something and writing that doesn't get to the point. I first encountered Dune in a college English class and had very little time to read and interact with it before we moved on to the next book on our list. I thought since I watched the new movie and enjoyed it that I might give the book its due diligence, but I don't think it's for me. I can certainly see why it's a classic, but it's certainly meant for a niche audience! “But wisdom tempers love, doesn’t it?” SciFi isn't usually my go to thing... but on a whim I watched Dune and then it was driving me crazy I had no idea what was going on. So I bought the book. I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot happening. We have religion, politics, betrayal, destiny, power plays, a dystopian-ish planet and a little romance. I really got immersed in the story which was amazing. I have to admit that I didn't anticipate liking it as much as I did. It took me a bit to adjust to all the language typical of SciFi stories and some things definitely went over my head in this book and I don't really understand. However, I think despite that it was a fantastic story. Paul's journey is really intriguing and watching him step into his destiny was a wild ride. I think the vast array of characters was sometimes hard to follow and that was one of the reasons I gave this four stars instead of five. I had to make a chart of all the characters just to make sure I didn't get confused. I also really felt sometimes the big plot points with Paul got a bit confusing, and maybe that's just because I'm not a huge SciFi reader. The book shifted perspectives to give us all the different elements of the story and I really enjoyed this part, because it was often a nice breather from the Paul journey. I wasn't a fan of the start of the book because it felt like it was dragging a bit but it really made up for it after the first little bit and so much happened. I have to say with all that took place in the first book I don't even know what is left to happen but I am looking forward to finding out!
