I loved the movie and before that I loved House Atriedes by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson however Frank Herbert while a brilliant writer was definitely before my time and it shows in this book. If you spot this book at the library pick it up!
Perhaps the best Sci Fi novel of all time. The intrigue and action on many levels never gets old.
This is the ultimate in science fiction. The plot and characters are the most original i've ever come across. I highly recommend this unpredictabe and fascinating account of some of the most beloved characters you will ever have the pleasure of reading about! READ IT!
