Geez. My husband said that it was a hard book to read and he wasn't kidding. XD
That being said, I really enjoyed this book. Mind you, I've already seen both the David Lynch version (gads) and the miniseries, so I knew parts of what was going to happen. I didn't realize just how much inner dialogue there was in the book and I could see why it would be so hard to translate to a movie. At first, Paul seems like your typical whiny teenager, but it was interesting to see him grow by the end of the bo ...more

So I read this largely because my niece Sarah has to read it in school and by chance we ran across the movie in a thrift store and bought it for her as a joke. We ended up watching it with her and man, was that an experience. It was so weird. Like, beyond weird.

Amazing how much I heart this work.
I listened to this in the car as an audiobook; sitting in the carport long after I had returned home, to listen to the remainder of a disc.
There were several speakers and some sound effects which enhanced the experience.

3.5 stars. It's a long and sometimes tediously written book, but the story is interesting. I enjoyed the character development and the attention to detail in the world composition. I will be continuing the series.
