Started off with a roar that carried through the first two thirds of the book. The last third dragged a wee bit, but picked up toward the end for me. Though published in 1965, this book still managed to hold my interest like more contemporary fantasy/sci-fi does. A pleasant surprise. Usually, dated works tend not to capture my imagination. Definitely recommended. A classic worthy of the moniker 'classic.'

I don't know why but all the classic Sci-Fi/Fantasy books that everyone talks about I don't really enjoy.
This book was okay but I can't say I really enjoyed it. Some of the ideas were cool but there was just so much in between that I didn't really care about. I know there are lot of fans out there of the Dune books but sadly I am not one of them. ...more

Probably my first introduction to a none-fantasy book. I remember it was good, but maybe I was biased because it had no elves, LOL!
This continues to be my favorite book of all time.
