I have read about this book being the best Sci fi book ever and with the film being released soon, I had to check it out. I received this book very quickly and in perfect condition. I'm about a third through it now and it's fantastic. We've joined Duke Leto and his family on a new planet where water is so sparse the natives wear special suits that hold onto all body moisture. There's a snake in the Duke's personnel and the wild natives are suspicious of this Duke and his new customs. Within a day his young son is nearly assassinated in his bed and there is a prophecy of something great coming. It's a thrilling story, I'm enjoying it greatly and also looking forward to the film coming out.

I first read DUNE when I was in my teens and (50 years later) it holds together remarkably well. Brilliantly imagined and incredibly wide-ranging. Frank Herbert's ability to imagine and create is exceptional. Magic.

Came with some minor wear around the edges but more than acceptable for the price & advertised quality. Judging by the spine it was unread.

This is a very compelling book. The length should not be a put-off to less experienced readers, it is a very good book that you won’t be able to put down.

So far ahead of its time when it was written it is still just as compelling as any of the more recent saga’s. The definition of a timeless classic!
