bloop 's review for:

Dune by Frank Herbert
4.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Provides so much context for the Dune films. This was a well written book. a bit unnecessarily wordy at times though. So much lore that it is hard to keep track of. Ironically, the beginning of the book gripped me, but kinda lost me at the end, which is opposite of how I felt about the movies. Overall, I'm glad I read it, but will never be re-reading this ever again. The main reason why I wanted to read it was so that I could read Dune Messiah before the movie comes out lol.
