Very fun! Dune 1 finished in time for Dune (June) bookclub. Was a great holiday read - lots going on, quite long, interesting plot. Excited to discuss it w everyone. 
I do think slightly too long and could have done with an edit - came away with a few questions which i feel for a 600 page book is not ideal. Also not enough women. Paul was quite annoying & arrogant as well but I guess he is the Main Guy. 
Keen to watch the movie and see it all come to life!

I have complicated feelings about this one. But while I read this, I couldn’t read anything else.
