Dune, a science fiction book, was a solid 5 star read.
Though Dune isn’t the type of book I normally read-I honestly really enjoyed it.
Dune is set in the future, where melange (a spice) is one of the most valuable substances in the universe. The book centers around main character Paul Atreides and his family, who accepts control over the planet Arrakis-a desert planet and where the only source of melange is found.

I'm so glad I finally made the decision to dive into Dune (Dune Chronicles #1) by Frank Herbert. It's been on my tbr for ages and I've been told over and over again to read it.

Now I'm going to have to catch up on the series and I'm really looking forward to seeing the upcoming movie adaptation. It looks like it will be stunning. ...more

Everyone else has read this, so gave it a spin. Perhaps it wasn't my cup of tea, but I suppose I liked it more than I disliked it. Hm, I wonder if Spice, the drug, got its name from this book. ...more

Parts of this story reminded me of the movie " TREMORS" with the big worms that would come to surface when they felt the vibration of people walking across the ground. I was hoping the story would stay on that path but unfortunately it was alot of gibberish that made me struggle to get through and I fell asleep. I kept with the story because I wanted to see what path Paul would go and if the worms were going to continue to wreck havoc on this planet, otherwise I would have DNF'ed it.
