I see why it’s such a classic, the world building is so in-depth and grand. I can’t put my finger on what I disliked though - I just found myself forcing myself to pick it up, and not particularly looking forward to it.
I’m glad I’ve finished it now, i was determined to get through it. Maybe I’ll try it again one day and will love it.

+ I enjoy the thoroughness of Herbert’s world building, including the appendices that build on background stuff.
