109000 “But wisdom tempers love, doesn’t it?” SciFi isn't usually my go to thing... but on a whim I watched Dune and then it was driving me crazy I had no idea what was going on. So I bought the book. I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot happening. We have religion, politics, betrayal, destiny, power plays, a dystopian-ish planet and a little romance. I really got immersed in the story which was amazing. I have to admit that I didn't anticipate liking it as much as I did. It took me a bit to adjust to all the language typical of SciFi stories and some things definitely went over my head in this book and I don't really understand. However, I think despite that it was a fantastic story. Paul's journey is really intriguing and watching him step into his destiny was a wild ride. I think the vast array of characters was sometimes hard to follow and that was one of the reasons I gave this four stars instead of five. I had to make a chart of all the characters just to make sure I didn't get confused. I also really felt sometimes the big plot points with Paul got a bit confusing, and maybe that's just because I'm not a huge SciFi reader. The book shifted perspectives to give us all the different elements of the story and I really enjoyed this part, because it was often a nice breather from the Paul journey. I wasn't a fan of the start of the book because it felt like it was dragging a bit but it really made up for it after the first little bit and so much happened. I have to say with all that took place in the first book I don't even know what is left to happen but I am looking forward to finding out! I read this a long time ago and barely remember it, so I queued up the audiobook for a revisit. The audiobook is well done. There’s a full cast doing voices for the major characters, which makes it much easier to keep track of the dialogue. Dune is a sci-fi classic with lots to like. Unique world building, interesting constraints on technology that bring strategy and characters to the fore, and lyrical descriptions of desert life that really captured my attention. There’s also a lot of dated and offensive assumptions that I couldn’t help but notice. The world of Dune is built on colonialism, patriarchy, rigid gender roles, inherited social class, and a fair amount of condescension and racism expressed by the ruling class and their attendants towards the Fremen of Arrakis. Paul is the creation of generations of eugenic manipulation by the Bene Gesserit and he’s repeatedly described as a “born special” hero. Edit: I forgot to mention that Herbert describes the big villain of the story as a monstrously fat, gay pedophile. Just, ugh. It’s still an impressive work of imaginative fiction, but the dated elements are intrusive, and distracted me from the narrative. I remind myself that a lot has changed in the world since the book’s original publication in 1965. Finally re-read this after close to 30 years. Definitely had forgotten a lot of the main plot and am sure I appreciated the story a lot more this time around. But, still sticking to 3 stars. Maybe that says I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate it, or not interested enough in the religious undertones, etc. Whatever. I rate the books purely on my own enjoyment, and had to rate this lower than my most recent reading. However, given that Dune Messiah is a fair bit thinner, I'll continue on with it and then make a decision after that. At this stage I doubt I'll complete the original 6 books or the prequel trilogy, but shall see.
