Dune
This novel is easily the greatest book I have ever read. The novel examines ecology, economics, politics, theology and philosophy while telling an epic tale of a boy's and a people's rise from obscurity to power. The pages of this book contain a complete culture. We see the corruption and greed of the Imperium, the schemes of the secretive Bene Gesserit, and the heroic dedication of the Fremen. Herbert's philosophy carries its own power and grandeur that makes this novel incredible

Dune
Read this book if you are fed up with happy ever after endings and shining heroes who never doubt themselves. Dune messiah paints it like it is.
Dune
I've read all 6 books several times (and I have a life!). The way Herbert builds a society, and describes its many aspects, is unparalleled. The entire series is really about control and power. Who/what is in charge? The government? econmics? religion? technology? military? males? females? nature?Once the reader gets by the new vocabulary (interestingly based on Hebrew & Arabic), and gets into the story (you may wish to have a scorecard), you will be completely absorbed and will not want to put the books down.P.S. Even though the movie is pathetic, I have to thank its creators. I had not yet read the books, but the story seemed compelling. I bought the first book the next day, and my literary life was changed. This got me into sci-fi reading (Asimov, Heinlein, etc...). Thank you Frank Herbert.
Dune
Many times when reading this book, I became so enveloped by the story I even forgot that I was reading; turning the pages was only a reflex, necessary to maintain the even flow of time. It is the one book which I have been the most sad to see end, and yet the most happy to have read. Let Frank Herbert bring you into his world of great sandworms, Gods and Emperors, villains, heroes, and a small boy at the center of it all.If there were only one book I would ever read, this would be it.
