is fucking garbage hyped for faggots that think that muslims names are deep.

First half was entertaining, learning about the World and how it worked, middle was kind of boring, ending was disappointing.

This is my all-time favorite book. I was lucky enough to know next to nothing about it when I found it. I got the version with the black cover and small strip of sand. Before I knew it, I was reading the sequels and even some of the prequels written by his son and Kevin J Anderson.

It's anime-tier.

Best sci fi has to offer.
Ignore the idiots in this thread claiming otherwise

So like 1984?

fucking soft sci fi drivel who the fuck wants to read about made up warring clans and giant worms fuck off and read arthur c clarke books instead

Great book, probably the best sci-fi ever written. It takes a while to set up the plot because of the huge amount of worldbuilding Herbert did but once it gets going it's great. It has a bunch of sequels no one cares about, but my dad reckons they're good.

Dune a shit
just like you're waifu

Very good sci-fi with a mythological scope. Imo the 60s were like a golden age for sci-fi with legitimate literary value - Herbert, Clarke, Dick, Bradbury...blew hacks like Heinlein out of the water

Best sci-fi I've ever read.

In my opinion the quality of the series goes down after the god emperor of dune. Don't bother with the prequels and sequels not written by Frank Herbert. They are horrible attempts at milking a dying franchise.

heinlein a shit
why is he considered one of the "big three?"

>>7513242
For his time, his vision and volume of work he is notable

I read a few pages in the book store and it seemed like I, Claudius in space so I put it down. Dialogue was bad too.

Why read novelised extrapolation of science when you can just read a research robotics paper?

Tips fedora, walks away

He's badly dated though, I've never got through any of his books.

Just read the book, man.
