avid but novice fantasy and sci-fi reader in 1984 when David Lynch’s <i>Dune</i> rolled out as a big-budget adaptation of the 1965 classic book. It was an artistic and box-office failure with Roger Ebert calling it “a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion.” Numerous references were made to its excessive length, particularly a tv edition that was over 3 hours long. I never did pick up the classic sci-fi book, assuming the commentary heard about the movie applied to the book. All that changed when I broke my finger and found myself with a lot of extra time on my hands (groan).<br><br>Besides,<i> sandworms.</i><br><br> <br><br>Dune has a lot of ingredients that don’t fit into my preferred stories, yet the gestalt was not only tolerable, but engrossing. <br><br>It begins with the Atreides family preparing to shift their holding from their current home to the planet of Arrakis. The Emperor has given the Atreides the territory and trade on the planet of Arrakis, formerly under control of their enemies, the Harkonnen. The planet Arrakis is hot, arid and generally hostile to life. There is, however, a small population of native, fierce Freman who have managed to build an existence in the desert.<br><br> <br><br>Paul Atreides is the young heir of the family, and mystical testing reveals he might be the one prophesied.<br><br> <br><br>Paul undergroes a rapid growth curve, facilitated by his teacher Dr. Yeuh and his father’s advisors.<br><br> <br><br>But it is in the desert that Paul will discover his strength as well as his new people.<br><br> <br><br>Seriously, now.<br><br>Honestly, I have to wonder how much of this <i>like</i> is generational. If Sanderson or Rothfuss wrote this book, two chapters in Dune would have made a whole book, and while detail may have been added, it likely would have made for a book as slow as the movie. I liked the scope of Dune, and that there is a resolution to the initial conflict. It is also interesting that despite the volume of concepts packed in here, with political maneuvers, terraforming, technology, cultural assimilation, and mysticism all playing roles that I didn’t find it overwhelming, perhaps because so much is genre-familiar. <br><br>On the downside, it could have perhaps used a bit more transitions, particularly near the end when months at a time are skipped. Writing was solid; nothing really stood out, but it told the story well. There’s some vague mysticism that might irritate those who like explanations. It was a bit of an eye-roller to have the chief villain be a fat, gay, sadistic pedophile, but Herbert really isn’t thinking outside the trope character box much (it’s not enough that he sentences people to death but he has to be physically abhorrent? And gay?). World-building is fun, but standard desert.<br><br>Overall, I’m glad that I finally took the time to read it and put those old assumptions to rest. I love a good hero.<br><br> <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275856475" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275856475"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275856475" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275856475" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275856475"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/carol." target="_top">carol.</a> | Nov 25, 2024 | <a href="/review/275856475"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275606490" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/4041453" data-workid="4041453" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Although Dune is fictional and occurs on a far away planet, the book explores themes of political power, economy, and religion deeply.

Not to mention the religious under- and over-tones of his vision of what he created in this work of fiction. From those that live in tropical paradises to those to which desert dwelling and adaptation is required for the continuation of their lives and families and society, Dune is replete with innuendo and outright references to Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and native American religious thought and practices.<br><br>I do find it interesting that Dune was created in the same era of the Cold War, the Red Scare, and post-WW2 social changes, as Lord of the Rings, Foundation, The Left Hand of Darkness, and Riverworld, with explorations of some of the same ecological and social and political manifestations of society. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275559202" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275559202"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275559202" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275559202" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275559202"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Craig_Evans" target="_top">Craig_Evans</a> | Nov 20, 2024 | <a href="/review/275559202"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275529522" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/4041453" data-workid="4041453" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0441172717.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>The story and world-building are amazing.
