I’ve thought about reading Dune but it seems really daunting. I’m not like averse to big books (usually I’m the opposite) but it just seems like it’s dense. And if something is too complicated I have trouble getting sucked into the book. Then I get frustrated…then I give up hahaha!
It’s not that complicated at all. It has a decent pacing and the description of the world is beautiful. The one thing that bugged me is the way they handled inner monologue, it was a little too much for me at times.
I gave up because I had to keep looking up every apparatus with a foreign name to see what the hell they were talking about. It just got to be too much and was no longer enjoyable for me.
Loved the recent movie though! I mean like a lot!!
