Dune

It took me a bit to get into the book, but once I started getting into it, reading became a pleasure.

I believe it important to mention that the writing style is very factual and might be a bit jarring, especially in the beginning. It's the main reason my rating is less than 5 stars.

But i did like the odd places the author took this story. It made me think.
I like the universe he has crafted - it's so rich and so considerate of circumstances. So much so, that ecological and environmental consideration are woven into every bit of the story. Without it ever becoming too much.

I'm happy I read this book now and not when I was a teenager and first considered it. I wouldn't have been able to appreciate it back then.
