A review by katiaidiri
Dune by Frank Herbert
4.0
“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”
This book was an uphill battle for the first two parts. I had to look up no-spoiler 5-star reviews about 100 pages in to convince me to ride it out, and I’m glad I did.
Loved almost everything about it except the creepy all-knowing toddler (yes, sorry to break it to you but you are definitely a weirdo) and the fact that every description of a sandworm elicits a vision of the Alaskan Bullworm from Spongebob (making it quite difficult for me to take them as seriously as I probably should have.) Other than that, solid 4 star read. Super quotable and a fun ride once I finally wrapped my head around the complex worldbuilding and its cunning allusions to our own planet’s politics, religion & ecology.
“And what he saw was a time nexus within this cave, a boiling of possibilities focused here, wherein the most minute action-the wink of an eye, a careless word, a misplaced grain of sand—moved a gigantic lever across the known universe.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
