Dans « Dune », Frank Herbert surprend avec un style étonnamment moderne pour les années 60.

Les personnages, bien qu’un peu trop loquaces à mon goût, son fascinant dans leur construction et ce qu’ils racontent dans le récit m’a beaucoup fait penser à la Roue du Temps, ma série littéraire préférée du moment.

Cependant, les dialogues alourdissent vraiment trop l’histoire, surtout pour ceux comme moi qui connaissaient déjà la fin de l’histoire (qui est très semblable aux dernières adaptations cinématographiques en date). Malgré cela, "Dune" reste un chef-d'œuvre intemporel en 2024, alors je ne peux qu’imaginer son impact sur les lecteurs de 1965. Herbert guide habilement les lecteurs à travers son intrigue complexe, sans les sous-estimer. Cependant, certains passages, bien que bien écrits, peuvent sembler confus à une lecture attentive.

LOVED IT! If I had not read the prequels, I might have been lost! But it gave a lot of depth to the stories.

It's different from the prequels but it's great. Less happens but you get great story telling. I have heard a lot of people that say that they have only read the first one...I in no way can keep from reading the second. I am so excited for it!

Rarely have a read a novel that so thoroughly sucked me into it's world as Dune has. I'm one novel, Herbert creates a universe that feels larger, sorry, and more complex that most authors accomplish after 2 or three sequels.  Through a riveting feudal betrayal and succession story, Herbert builds a realistic ecology, a religion that is extremely familiar and wholly alien, and a diverse host of compelling characters that stick on your imagination. Dune will challenge your thinking with each read and leave you hungering for more of his politically perilous world.
