This one is definitely my least favorite so far. It's not that i didn't enjoy it at all because i did find some parts interesting and i actually enjoyed reading, but there were also a lot of parts i found extremely boring and just waiting to get through. I am happy to finally be done with it! Only two more left in the series :)

I read this a long time ago and my reread has enlightened me about how much I didn’t understand when I read it the first time. I still don’t understand it. Herbert is so philosophical through Leto II, who speaks in riddles and paradoxes, and who never gets to the point. Herbert forces the reader to infer what Leto’s Golden Oath really is, but I never figured it out completely. I’m sure I’ll read it again before I die, because it’s a wonderful universe he’s created, but I’m not sure I’ll ever understand the point.

Dune is the book that brought me into the sci-fi genre when I was a teenager. It has all the fantastical sci-fi technology and space magic a teenager loves, the melodrama of the politics, and the deep lore of a universe that is both vast and well thought out.
Re-reading it as an adult was almost like reading a new book - I found an even deeper universe and lessons all of us can learn from. I recommend this book to everyone, even those who aren't 'into' sci-fi, because it's so much more than science fiction. It critiques politics, leadership, equality, and imperialism - subjects that are often handled with absolutely no finess or skill.
100% a must read for anyone!
