Dune Thread

I wouldn't remove my hand no problem. Got my hand stuck in a sander once and it sanded down to the bone but I didn't cry because I'm a big guy.

dumb star wars ripoff

>>9681371

Actually the first edition of "Dune" came 12 years before "Star Wars".

How big was Leo's worm dick

It was an action packed page turner. The world building was spectacular in the sense that every word or object blended into his writing. He was good at describing geography, but that's basically the only thing he described in detail. I enjoyed how much a seamless blend of fantasy and sci-fi it was. I had problems with it though. Every character was one dimensional. Every chapter was either set up or execution of the plot. His writing left most things to the imagination. Instead of a few paragraphs describing a worms look and action in the vast desert, he would just write "lol there was a big worm over yonder". I really enjoyed it and can't wait to watch the movie with a fresh eye, but would I spend time reading the sequels? Probably not for a long time, there's far more important things I have in my backlog.

Didn't like it. His characters were boring, his prose was flat, and his plot was shit.

i think this was on everyone's wish list for god emperor of dune to reveal, and instead it was blabbing on and on about some golden path

I started reading this book but it just rips of star wars. Why do people like this book when it is plagerism?

Dune is a ripoff of ASOIAF. Hebert just took Game of Thrones and put it in outer space.

dune is a ripoff of flaubert

herbbre just took madame bocary and ppppp

Probably the most over-rated SF novel of all time. Terrible writing, terrible characters, idiot plot (full of plot homes), and padded worse than a 12 year old Asian girl's bra on prom night.
The fact that SF readers praise it is proof most people who read a lot of SF are morons.

>>9683641
It's basically GTA San Andreas with giant worms and spice.

>>9684098
First ripping off Star Wars and then that shit? Damn Frank, you sly ass bitch.

>spice mining
Makes no fucking sense. Mining for peppers. I stake a claim on muh cinnamon

I'm about to start God Emperor, what am I in for?

>>9686187
The best book in the series.

>>9684585
Lots of miners died of pepperlung just so you can have the convenience of black pepper for everyday use.

>>9686187
the third best book in the series

>tfw you ripped off huge parts of Dune for your own autistic writing
>tfw realize that Dune has basically defined the rules of what is and isn't okay in scifi/fantasy for you

I've never read Dune but Shai Hulud is one of my favorite bands.

Here's the 2nd book for heretics of dune

>>9689337

Disagree, original US covers are GOAT. This is some cyberpunk mecha anime trash that does not belong anywhere near dune.

incredibly over rated and I still don't know why. Reddit has such a hard on for this book but it's average to above average, certainly nothing amazing. I seriously do not understand.

/sffg/ is that way.

Keep your genre fiction in its containment thread.
