Muad'dib, Lisan al Gaib, Kwisatz Haderach, Prophet. Paul Atreides has many names and I have just as much love for this book.

I was a little afraid to plunge into the world of Frank Herbert's Dune because many warned about the complex worldbuilding. However, after seeing Denis Villeneuve's extraordinary film last year, it was easy for me to immerse myself in this story.

The way the inner monologues were woven into the dialogue sequences is fantastic.

All in all, a terrific political sci-fi epic that feels bigger than almost any other book in its impact on the underlying world.
