There is nothing new I can say about this. Detailed and interesting world, distinct (but flat) characters, engaging and grandiose story, interesting themes with a juxtaposition of fatalism and freedom. Good book, but not my favorite.

Probablemente la ciencia ficción más complicada y enrevesada a la que me he enfrentado hasta la fecha. Política, religión, genética, planes dentro de los planes, una lectura que exige mucho, pero que recompensa. Lo más positivo sin duda es la representación de los Fremen, de sus costumbres y de cada pequeño detalle. Lo que más me ha costado las largas descripciones "prescientes" y las alucinaciones de Paul, que me han resultado agotadoras.
