Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender’s Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune, one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or ‘spice’, is the most valuable – and rarest – element in the universe. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred to his house, Paul Atreides must travel to the planet’s dangerous surface to ensure the future of his family and his people. But as malevolent forces explode into conflict around him, Paul is thrust into a great destiny beyond his understanding. And in this game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

This book, all 600 pages, is one of Science Fictions Greats: Rewarding, involving, complex, perfectly realised. The perfect companion to the 1984 film, widescreen cinematic release (not the dreadful 4:3 tv extended edition), but read the book first. And avoid the awful TV miniseries, side-step the stunningly pedestrian 2021 film and ignore the negative reviews of the 1984 film, mostly written by those who didnt understand it, or were minded to slam it for other reasons, both commercial and political.

Beautiful hardback cover, the shipping was super quick, and it's a classic story. I'm so excited to have such a classic story, and with such lovely cover design.

Book definitely did not arrive in very good condition. I would consider it used condition. Corners were bent and there was a tear down the back cover. There were also little tiny tears on other parts of the cover. Pages were also bent in an upward position that I had to flex to make it back to normal. I was happy to see that the book was indeed not the mass media version (the tiny version), which is why I bought from this posting.

I bought the book because it is about to be turned into a film (again) and i am a fan of Tim Chalamet, who will play Paul Atrides in the film. When I began reading, I forgot about the film and enjoyed the book for itself. Sci-fi is not my thing, but I loved Dune. It's not an easy read, which is why I read it twice and took notes. Does that sound geeky? There is good character development, good flow, good dialogue and the reader is always firmly grounded in a "real" place. That is, it has all the positive attributes of a well-done novel. Although the book is over 50 years old, it is just as relevant and fresh as it was in 1965. I bought another copy to give my oldest granddaughter (another Chalamet fan) for Christmas. I strongly recommend the book.
I’ll be honest, I reallyyy want to read this book and I’ve started trying to read it probably about 7 times now but just can’t get into it. It’s mainly because I’m not familiar with the vocab they use, but that’s my own fault. I am glad though that there’s an appendix in the back that tells the definition of a lot of the words. I’m going to watch the movie so that I have a bit more background info before diving in again.
Dune is one of those rear books that can be revisited and reread every 10 years or so, starting from when about 15, and of reading it wall offer up a new experience with new ideas to grapple with.Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune should all be read to Muad'dib's whole story. Then as an epilogue to all of them God Emperor of Dune needs to be read to understand Muad'dib's vision and burden and the sacrifice his Son finally made.As a work of Science Fiction this is one of the best to expand on Psychology, Political and Social Science, Evolution, and Ecology. These are the hard sciences it dives into. Very few authors and works have done this as well Frank Herbert in the Dune sager and in his other works.
I usually prefer to grab an old used paperback when digging into the classics, but the design of this hardcover book was so elegant that I just had to get it! One really surprising detail I discovered is that the lettering on the cover is a foil inlay that shimmers in the light. Plus, the back cover has a variation of the word "Dune" that I almost prefer to the front cover's design! (See the photos for more). I've never been so happy to own a hardback edition of a book. Really pleased with this decision.
I was super skeptical in reading this book. I've heard a lot of people say it's not a easy book to read or get in to because of the world building Herbert places in the pages. If it wasn't for the Books A Million staff at my local BAM encouraging me to try it, I would have missed this gem. I'm not a avid reader by any means but I have earned a love for science fiction and for this series. I'm now book 3 out of 6, and have a list of books I'm jumping in to next! Thanks BAM!
Everyone knows that Frank Herbert blessed us with the best sci fi book/story since the inception of Star Wars. What needs to be focused on in this review is just how beautiful this edition is. The font is is a standard size, not too small or too large. The hardcover is a chocolate brown with the stunning contrast of the foiled orange lettering. This is a book you could purchase, and couple that purchase with a book stand so you have an area to display this gorgeous cover
