Page quality could've been better (not bad) but at this price and consider that this is a triology, it is understandable. That was until now.

In terms of quality, I would say that Dune is by far the best book of the three and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Children of Dune is a much stronger affair with the Atreides story going in a completely different direction.

Even the use of secondary and lesser characters have a lot of depth to them. It's a very clever, very well written and extremely detailed story that I would call a must own. The original book was published all the way back in 1965. It gives this book great pacing and makes it surprisingly easy to read.

My favourite part of the book is without any doubt, it is the world building. With a good use of wording and the way the chapters are spread out, you can get a dose of information and plenty of time to soak it all in before moving on.

The spine of the book is also a slight issue. I find it hard to process and is the main reason why I never got round to reading these books. Up until now, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Homer's Odyssey were my favourite books. It's all very well done.

Lola

There's plenty of back stabbing as well as issues with religion, false idols and the issue of drug induced hallucinations. Well, if I were to right a small overview of the story of these three books, this review would be horrendously long. The way Herbert describes the different environments from Sietch Tabr, Arrakeen, the endless desert etc is so intense that you could so easily imagine yourself being there.

Dune has a compelling character, plot. It's a heft beast of a book.
