Rezension von MACannieAbsolut Brilliant. coming of age trifft Messias Story. Vorlage für Star Wars.
Rezension von Verena“Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” This book is probably not for everyone but it’s for those who like science fiction and discover new worlds. I loved the story but needed some time to get used to the tons of made-up terms from this world. There are Well-developed characters with interesting personalities I really fell in love with. Sometimes it’s a bit dragging but despite that I enjoyed it very much. ——————————— So I just read it again because of the movie and hell, this book deserves far more than just 5 stars. When I read it the first time it was quite hard for me to understand everything because english is not my first language but after reading it the second time many things made a lot more sense. Its just so damn brilliant. Dunes world is fascinating and huge and it’s breathtaking and I can’t waiiiit to see the story on a big screen. I just hope they don’t ruin the book because boyyyyy I love it so f***ing much.
Rezension von ClandesvI have so so so much respect for the story of Dune and I couldn’t be happier about the fact that there are many more books to explore in the Dune universe

Rezension von Joshua Marius<i>4.75</i> <a target="_blank" href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Cat_with_book_2320356661.jpg">me while reading this book</a> Dune might be hard for some to start getting into, but in my experience, after a while (and some referencing of the Appendix) it becomes a fluid, enjoyable read. I was surprised to enjoy the politics of the Dune universe as much as I did, and that might be because of how dialogues are written. While it often seems as though a chapter is written from a certain perspective, it then goes on to switch and includes thoughts from both sides of a conversation. This works perfectly to illustrate the intricacies involved - both in politics and in battle. ("Feints within feints within feints") Some chapters might not feel important and a bit slow, but it's not that bad because the chapter size is normally quite digestible. In terms of character arcs Dune feels a bit static to me, it would be interesting to see characters like Paul develop in less predictable ways. However this might also be exactly what Herbert was going for, since the central themes include the prophecy and the inevitability of the jihad. <spoiler> As the book went on, there was an ever decreasing possibility of averting the jihad, but nothing seemed to come of it. Every decision seemed to further lead to it, I would maybe have wished for some sort of slowing moment, sparking a bit of hope. </spoiler>
