After 21 days, I am back from Arrakis. I have sand crammed into every orifice, and my stillsuit smells of three-week-old swampy man ass. Think papermill with a side of skunk ape and we'll be on the same page. Yummy. If I never see another beach in my life, it'll be too goddamn soon. Bet you think th...

I did really like this book. A few things kept it from being a 4 star. The first being parts of this book were deeply boring. Especially the middle. The end was great, but mid way point I wanted to dnf several times. My second gripe is a more personal one. I hate looking up words or footnotes it tak...

This review will probably contain spoilers. Read on at your own risk. Tuck Everlasting is one of those books that I've been meaning to read. For 30 years. I've resisted until now because several people told me it was an extremely sad book. I'm not sure what book they were reading. Maybe there's...

I started listening to this audiobook for several reasons. One, it was long (22 hours), which meant I wouldn't have to pick another book for a while. Two, it looked like a full-cast audiobook, and I was in the mood for one of those. And three, I had read it when I was a teen but couldn't remember mu...

Dune is the story of a young man who is introduced as the chosen one, then proceeds to use cold logic to prove to various people over and over that he’s the chosen one in every other chapter, until he does a Chosen One Thing. Dune is often hailed as a sci-fi classic, and I was very excited to read...

Dune is a great book. A book about a young man, being chased by bad guys discovered that he had the power to control the worm. The story is more like a lost prince getting back his empire. The main character, in order to gain power, use the myth of the people and turned himself into a messiah. ...

So it took me a while to get through Dune. Not because I don't absolutely love this book, but because I was reading it in between finishing up some other books this past week.I first read Dune back in high school. I was in my junior year of high school and it was the last week of school before Summe...

What can one say about Dune that hasn't already been said? I personally found the book very interesting. I enjoyed the "culture building" that Herbert undertook with the Fremen, which is something that those who have just seen the movie will have only a taste of. It's intriguing to me what aspects o...

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration". What can I say about Dune that hasn't been said before?Well, I read it in Portuguese and I own a brand new edition. It's funny that I usually know what to say about a book I didn't like, and I can'...

I, probably like most people who have ever considered reading Dune, never did because I'd seen part of the movie and was positively weirded out by it. Let me begin this review by saying DO NOT JUDGE THIS BOOK BY THE MOVIE. The book is AMAZING, and the movie, well, it's a literal travesty that it was...
