I couldn't finish the book. Like Lord of the Rings, the writing is super dry but the story is interesting. Unfortunately I'm not interested enough to continue.
Okay what. Does this actually have a gay main character? ...because it's in the list, but there's nothing mentioned in the shelves on the side (but those are user-based, and if no one shelves it as such, I guess it wouldn't register as such?)'Cause I've seen this/heard of this but have always seemed...
Dune is a sci-fi novel (well not hard sci-fi but mixed with fantasy), opus, describing races and planets fighting each other. There are interesting characters, a superhero Paul Muad’dib, a devil and degenerate Baron Herkonnen, Paul’s mother Jessica, his concubine Chanti, an Emperor Shaddah etc. The...
I hadn't read Dune since the early 90s, and decided it was worth another read. I wondered how a book often said to be one of the best (if not the best) science fiction novel of all time would hold for two decades after my last reading.Pretty well, it seems.In the face of Cyberpunk and singularities ...
Here is an all-time classic of 20th-Century literature. I know people who have tried to get into this book and given up and to you I say, get back on the horse! I had to try 3 times before understanding where I was in the story, that's how detailed the setting is. Once you get into it, however, you ...
Dune has long been a book that has attracted my attention, even before I realised it. When I was seven years old I learned to read with the aid of The Chronicles of Narnia and shortly afterwards The Hobbit. These fantasy novels inspired a love of reading and also a love of wonderful worlds and adven...
Dune is The Lord of the Rings of science-fiction: Thick, dense, written in omniscient with incredible world building and a cult following. "Arrakis" aka Dune, the desert planet is just about the most memorable world in all of science fiction. So arid is this world that in order to survive its inhabi...
This was, I believe, my 4th time reading this book. I'm relatively sure I read it 3 times in high school, the last time being when I was 17 or so.This was a very different reading experience than it was back then.I'm much more well-versed in the genre now, and also a much more astute reader. I have ...
How can I call myself a fan of SF without having read this, the book that regularly tops polls and lists of the best SF? Why have I, only now, come to read it? And now that I have, do I think it lives up to its reputation?The reason I have put off for so long reading this largely stems from my dista...
