Dune was the first heavy Sci-fi book I have ever read.. and I fell in love. Frank's ability to create timeless characters and graphic visuals while having an extended story line draws you into the dynamics of family, power, and growing accustomed to a new home.

I love the way Frank Herbert wrote this book, honestly I dont have the patience to continue reading the sequels but I do love his way of writing its sublime. Overall the book was a great experience .

This is one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told. Herbert weaves political intrigue with incredible character development, supported by astonishing action sequences and inventive world building. At the heart of this story is the question, "What lines would you cross to realize your destiny?"
