My husband picked this book for me when I asked for a sci-fi suggestion. He read it years ago and watched the movie. He said once I finished the book, we could watch the movie together. It's an interesting novel, though not my cup of tea. I was surprised at some of the scenes that were drawn out and which ones were quick overviews. I thought the battle scene would be much longer. It is a fascinating story and rich with religious references. I recognized a number of Bible quotes used in Dune's prophecies. I'm glad I read it but won't be continuing the series.

For my first big sci fi book it was extremely good and hard to keep up at first. I’m glad I stuck to it though because as I kept going I couldn’t stop falling in love with the world of Dune and its characters. I’m glad I put my love for Star Wars down and stopped being stubborn about Dune because if I hadn’t I would have never got to experience such a great story and cast of characters.
