Apr 08, 2021TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This book has been my favorite one in the science fiction genre. What makes this book and the Dune chronicles so interesting and unique is the amount of sheer detail the author puts into creating the dune universe and its characters. Everything from the ecology, politics, and economy of the galaxy that is presented in dune to the various characters, their histories and ideologies all combine into one of the greatest and bestselling epics science fiction has ever known. I would recommend this book to any who want to immerse themselves in a truly unique and supremely thought out universe that incorporates every aspect of a life into one powerful and insightful story. 5/5 stars @Galaxy_Read of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board 4.5/5. Dune is a 1965 science fiction novel by American author Frank Herbert and it has become a staple series in the genre. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel. This book laid the foundation on which Herbert has built his greatest series and one that would outlive him. Dune developed a flesh out universe with world building only rivaled by that of J.R.R Tolkien. The book was created by a true master of the genre. Dune deals with political, economic, sociological, biological, cultural and dynastic themes, Herbert has set a science fiction precedence that is rarely met. When first opening the novel, it seems like it will be an impossible read. On the first page alone there are so many universe-specific terms that the virgin reader will not understand (they are thus defined in the back of the book). But after getting a grasp on the main factions of the novel and their goals, everything falls into place and Dune takes you on a ride like no other. The characters are developed just as much as the lore of the universe, making the reader able to easily relate to their plight, engrossing you in the novel. So many sci-fi “tropes” we see today were created in this novel. I would recommend it to everyone. @Joaquin of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
