Somehow had it in my head that this would be a dense read, but it wasn't at all. I set myself the challenge of reading this just after seeing the first and before seeing the second film, and I managed to do that quite easily in two weeks, in spite of it being 800 pages. It doesn't feel like that at all. Description is sparse but effective and evocative, and dialogue is generally very beautifully written. The characters are well-drawn, and the plot moves along like a train. The ideas explored here, the politics, religious issues, prophecies, environmentalism--there's so much stuff. The Fremen are an extraordinary people, and they're the main reason why I want to read more in this series.
In short, astounding book, and one that will stay with me for a while.
