What Risingshadow readers think about this book
This book has got all which makes it a marvellous book. The author managed to describe the main characters in a few well-chosen sentences without tiring descriptions and explanations - brilliant!
The story itself is quite straightforward but never boring - on the contrary. Each chapter brings new aspects of Dune to the reader.
Although I've seen from your reviews and the rating that the second book is not so good, I'll give it a try. At least, I'm forewarned ;-)
I consider this a must read for any fan of science fiction.
Ron Restorff
This series is something that you'll never be able to forget. It took me all of five months to actually read all of this series and I most certainly do not regret it.
What Seregil says it true, unfortunatly. The rest of the series was not the best and the ending is somewhat disappointing, but it's worth the read.
I also agree that you can not call yourself a sci-fi fan if you've never read this.
Dune is a real classic of science fiction literature. Dune is almost like "The Lord of the Rings of science fiction".
This first Dune book is an excellent and entertaining science fiction adventure. In my opinion Dune is one of the best science fiction books I've ever read. I can highly recommend this book to all science fiction fans. (It's a shame that the sequels aren't as good as this book.)
By the way, if you call yourself a science fiction fan and haven't read Dune, you should be ashamed of yourself.
