Dune

Det tok meg to måneder, men jeg kom meg gjennom. Originalen og Children var høydepunktene, og Messiah trekker scoren litt ned.

Disse bøkene kommer til å leve i hjernen min i mange år, og blir sannsynligvis lest igjen senere, når jeg har latt dem synke inn og jeg har fått lest God Emperor of Dune.

Men først skal jeg ta en liten ferie fra Arrakis og utforske nye verdener.

The book is so packed of action, emotion, mysticism and lots of character development. Loved it. Coming from reading most of the Foundation series, I wasn’t sure if I me being a fanboy, Iwas going to like it another big Sci-Fi saga but I did. Can’t wait to read the next books!

it took me ages to get through this. not because it's bad, probably mostly because i repaired my computer and had.. other things on my mind. but also partly because herbert's style reminds me of tolkien. like, a lot. at least in the sense that herbert really wants you to read his mediocre poetry too.

this isn't bad by any means, and i will surely read on in the future. probably around the time the second movie hits. the characters are fleshed-out and there's surprisingly little overt misogyny for a science fiction book that is, at this point, positively ancient. it's just the constant internal monologuing and then rushing through the actual happenings that gets exhausting after a while.
