And come ON, Paul is the Kwisatz Haderach. He need to die more impressively than just “in a fire”. You can redeem yourself by coming up with a better death for him. *nods solemnly*

And I still only half-know what I’m talking about.

Dude. It’s award-WINNING. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m revoking your right to review books. *snatches back your book reviewer card*

…okay, I never read it, myself. But the movie had some great quotes! “The sleeper must awaken!”

It sucks you don’t like it. I loved the series and have re-read Dune many times. I can see how some would see it tedious though.

Are you really halfway through? I remember when I first read it, I thought it was shite until something like page 162 when the revolution happens. Herbert takes way too long to get going.

Then I thought the post-p.162 (or whatever) stuff was great, along with Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, then he skipped forward several millennia and it went back to suck.

Of course, I read them when I was about thirteen. Haven’t ever had the motivation to go back and reread. Heavy stuff.
