Dune by Frank HerbertMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A classic science fiction novel with a world of imagination. The writing was bad in the beginning but you get use to it through the book. There are so many characters and each character has so many names so it gets confusing. One person has a name for war, name as a lover, name as a son, first name, last name... etc. I love the concept of how the people treat water as if it's gold, they talk about killing someone to take their water, or if someone cries it's a huge deal because it's shocking someone would spend their water. The story is constantly shifting and moving which keeps it interesting. Sometime's there would be huge plot holes and time jumps and you wouldn't know it until after. There were a couple deaths near the end of the book and it was only mentioned in passing, wasn't written on how they died, when, how, etc. just as a piece of news... I love the powers of the Bene Gesserit, so manipulative and strategic yet scary and mysterious. I also liked the crysknife and the rules behind owning one.
