• 5.0 out of 5 stars from J.N. -- First book bigger in width and height than the other two books? : Great book so far, what can I say? It's a touchstone of science fiction. Ordered the first three books separately (because it was actually slightly cheaper to do that than get the box set) and kind of surprised the first book is larger in width and height than the other two. It's not a big deal I guess but kind of defeats the purpose of getting three books from a series that match each other. I just thought this was odd enough to mention in a review.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Steven Evans -- The Most Beautiful Hardcover I Own : I just got the Dune Hardcover Deluxe edition in the mail today, and this may be the most beautiful hardcover I own. The dust jacket has a soft matte feel to it. The inside front and back covers both have unique and amazing paintings. The pages are blue tipped. I had originally purchased this book to read, but I'm having second thoughts and may just re-read my dog-eared paperback that I bought 20 years ago. I paid $28 for this deluxe hardcover edition and I believe it is well worth it. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from agentleila -- Good book, some distracting voice elements : Dune is a great book, and Simon Vance, the primary narrator of the audible version I'm listening to, has probably one of my favorite voices of all time. The voice acting overall is good in this version, but I'm confused as to why some chapters feature several voice actors doing various characters while other chapters - featuring the same characters - have everything voiced by Vance. As I said, I love his voice, but the switching back and forth is odd and distracting to me. ( Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Micah -- It's everything you've heard it is and more. : The hype is justified for this book. If you have not read it yet, please do yourself a favor and change that asap. I'm sure there are a landslide of other reviewers that can tell you all about the story itself, so I will skip that. This book was an epic pleasure to read. I had some apprehension going in as I repeatedly heard that it's overly jarring from the beginning. I did not find this to be the case, and I'm no prodigy. It does have some of it's own words that are explained in the back of the book if needed, but said words are also presented with enough context to give you a good idea of what they're talking about. You have to push through a little at the beginning, but everything falls into place quickly enough. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017 )
• 2.0 out of 5 stars from Joseph -- Great ideas written by a newspaperman : So much to love and a different take on space based science fiction. I wanted to explore this world, the characters, the universe. All of it is still exciting and fresh feeling even 50 years later. Dune stands alone as it’s own.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from D.A. Drake -- Not Just a Classic Science Fiction Book, A Classic Period : Far-reaching and mind-expanding, when I first read Dune in the '60s I had my mouth open most of the time, and could only read half a page or so at a time before looking off into space for a few moments in awe, thinking about what I had just read. Thousands of years in the future, where mankind is able to control every single muscle in his body, where computers (which, when I read the book, were relatively new at the time) had been surpassed hundreds of years earlier, where mankind has spread an empire across the universe, and was beginning, through evolution and technology, to advance beyond humankind...a towering classic, anyone with any interest in science fiction at all must read this book. (and btw, I like David Lynch's 1984 feature film, you had to have read the book to follow the movie.) ( Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from pgm3 -- That's not a kriss, this is a kriss... : Many mediocre sequels followed, but this first is a great piece of political sci-fi. Imagine the oil-producers were extraterrestrial cultures, producing not lubricants and fuels but a natural psychotropic which facilitated hyperspace navigation. Now imagine an Asimovian empire trying to rest control of the source. Imagine that there is a fanatic desert uprising seeking to regain that control, resisted not by the Husseini nor the Ibn Saud but by a royal gang which looks for all the world like the Hapsburgs. Throw in a heroic noble family, political intrigue, brilliant, West-Wing level smartwriting, and just for, the helluvit, a tribe of real witches and some giant snakes which patrol the =deserts by tunneling under the sands. Completely addictive read. A modern classic.. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2018 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from mike langdon -- You don't realise just how much is owed to this : What is there to be said that already hasn't been said better by someone else? What a thouroughly enjoyable and interesting book this really is. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2019 )
• 3.0 out of 5 stars from Eduardo Olvera -- Eviten las malas traducciones en español y lean en su idioma original tal cuál lo escribió su autor. : En México no sólo tenemos un problema de falta de lectura, también hacen falta buenas editoriales. Anduve buscando este libro en español pero sólo encontré el que editó editorial debolsillo en España. Aunque sus libros a pesar de ser de bolsillo, valga la redundancia, son de buena calidad y son fáciles de leer pues se traducen a un español neutro pero no en todos los casos ya que los españoles se caracterizan por ser pésimos traductores, prácticamente traducen lo que ellos entienden y no lo que el autor quiso decir, esto hace que se pierda toda la esencia de un libro al grado de que puede fastidiarte y no entiendas nada. En México podemos encontrar libros traducidos al español pero la mayoría son de editoriales españolas, siendo debolsillo la más predominante pues aparentemente son los mas económicos y los encuentras en cualquier lado. Sin embargo también hay muy buenas editoriales españolas como Valdemar y Zorro Rojo, de las cuales no duraría en comprar uno de sus libros sin importar el precio. Ojalá un día Zorro Rojo se anime a sacar su versión de Dune. ( Reviewed in Mexico on February 13, 2018 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from AdamH -- Outstanding, Awesome, My favourite book of all time : I first read Dune in 1978 as a teenager, it was recommended to me by a relative who read it when it came out in 1965, it amazed me , it is a truly epic read, having just seen the original Star Wars as it was released in 1977 I recognised that more than a few of the Star Wars plot lines seemed remarkably similar to Dune, also I think a certain Mr George RR Martin has borrowed some ideas from Dune for Game of Thrones. This is my favourite book of any genre and I bought it again after recommending it to my Daughter who is in her 20's, before passing it on I read it again and got as much enjoyment reading it again as I did the first time and it has stood the test of time, infact its timeless and should be relevant for ever. Basically its a book about politics, power and religion that just happens to be set 10,000 years in the future where the key natural resource that drives the whole universe is a narcotic called spice (think oil in our times) and the person(s) that controls the supply is all powerful and has many enemies and friends and allies. The various characters, groups, races and religions in the book are all brilliant and memorable enough that I remembered them all from 40 years ago and the genius for me is that although this is set far in the future computers have been banned for thousands of years so there is very little technology in the book which is great as the focus then is on the actual story which is superb. My daughter has finished reading it and she was blown away by it as well. Luckily there are several sequels which I will now read again. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2019 )
