Bought this for my husband as a gift! It came in perfect condition and He loved the book!
I received the paperback version of this book, and basically from the minute I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. HIGHLY addictive story and writing.From Page 1, I felt like I was immersed in the story. Maybe a bit uncomfortably at times in the beginning, since there's discussion of things and people I haven't heard of, but I felt immersed nonetheless. To help the (small) initial culture shock, Frank Herbert has given us a glossary at the end of the book.I was very quickly impressed by the level of thought that was put into the plot. Most characters are pretty much playing mental chess with each other, and Herbert does a great job of explaining their thoughts/reasoning where appropriate, yet leaving enough unsaid that there are still a lot of interesting plot twists.All in all, the book is so addictive we need a new program: D.A.R.E. to keep kids off Dune. 10/10, would recommend! Someone check me into a rehab before I buy the next book...

This is science fiction at its best. Timeless! It is essential one reads this book before seeing the film. Do it!
