Jamie reviewed Dune by Frank Herbert (Dune Chronicles, #1)
Review of 'Dune' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Fantastic! I avoided this for so long because I didn't want to be sucked into an interminable series - was recently convinced by friends that it is not necessary to continue. This does stand alone quite nicely and is so richly developed on its own. I'm kind of amazed that a book that includes so much political machination, cultural and mythological back-story, and buckets of characters can move as well as this one.
