Frank Herbert's Dune

Copy write 1965, Frank Herbert's Dune captured my imagine nation from start until finish and truly had me in suspense at the end which is rare, for all my effort to avoid plot spoilers I must admit I accidentally read some. Dune captures so much epicness! In this book you observe a son of a murdered father and his mother first be indoctrinated into perhaps the most violent community imaginable. Then face the empire that ha done wrong to them in a tale that is political as much as it is amazing. The planet Akkaris where most of the happenings take place has a diverse history an even an fictional ecosystem. I enjoyed this book so much I also got the film as to hang on to its essence a little while longer. I know it wont be as good but it should be a fun night in.
