Well, then. What can one say about Dune that has not already been said in the last half a century? Only my own thoughts. This took me a while to read; longer than I've taken with even longer books. I enjoyed it when I read it but never found myself yearning to read it. I understood things and was really interested in the schemes and control of the Bene Gesserit over the empire; seeding legends into cultures in order to serve their best interests. It's a great book; it isn't a 5 star for me simply because the ending felt a little flat and I didn't love it like I have loved some others that have got 5 stars from me.
