On the whole, the book is a classic sci-fi story for a reason. The world is full and interesting and grand in scope. The actual story that our characters go through is strange at times, where people act contrary to how the say they want to act.
It was worth the read, but I’m not interested in returning to Arrakis any time soon.

Great book and so glad I read it. Although since I watched the movies first so the timelines were a bit getting used to, as it is very different.

I do think it is very fast paced at time where I would've enjoyed more detail. The big finale is like 20 pages long. But overall a solid book, while of course being a product of it's time.
