Dune

Just picked up Frank Herbet's Dune. Any fans? Any not fans?

I like Dune 2000.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

Didn't they make a Dune movie that was like 6 hours long?

First one's best. Gets worse and worse, only really picks up again in 6-7. Then he died. Then his son raped the series.

God Emperor was the best, I do believe. I wouldn't read after the first one though. It's not a series you appreciate on the first read.

 

[Emporius]

The first book is incredible, if a bit tedious at times, but after that the series takes a bit of a strange turn.

 

[theotherguy]

immensely boring. I remember trying to read the first book in the waiting room for the dentist's office, and found the pattern on the carpet more interesting.

First book is a pretty straightforward story.

I loved the first book... the sequels were boring though

I like the prequels though and thought they did the series justice

I dislike Kevin J Anderson. He has tainted everything that I once enjoyed.

Paul killed his nephew in HTH combat.

This novel was the shit. It was kind of like LOTR only in space. And good.
"Sing me a song from your homeworld!"

 

[Narvi]

"Sing me a song of the waters of your birthworld, Usul."

Actually.
