A review by isa_almeida
Dune by Frank Herbert

adventurous dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

An amazing sci-fi book about politics, culture, religion, charismatic leaders that take advantage of you (that point gets even stronger in Dune's Messiah, my favorite Dune book) and environmentalism. Yes, environmentalism, sorry, I known that everybody wants to kill the worms but you just can't kill them, Frank Herbert made sure of that... I mean, not if you want the spice. But that's a God Emperor of Dune topic, am I right?
