Book Overview
Frank Herbert's classic masterpiece--a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides--who would become known as Muad'Dib--and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

Lives up to the hype.
Some of the best literature I’ve I’ve laid my eyes on. Frank Herbert masterfully builds a world and characters that don’t have clear motives. The idea of a complex “not so good” hero is amazing.

Dune is the BEST sci-fi series ever written!
There are 18 books in the entire Dune series and I have read them all 3 complete times. IMO it is the GREATEST sci-fi series ever written,or that you'll ever read...and I have read hundreds and hundreds of sci-fi books.

Excellent read
I got lost in this book and the next two, every time I opened them. Truly amazing. After number 3 they lost my interest though but man that first 3 was incredible to read.

Dune is a perfect gift idea for any sci-fi obsessed person!
I got this book for my partner who loves anything Sci-Fi and interesting. This was a new series for him and I was so proud to introduce it! Based on his review, it's an incredibly well written sci-fi book and is now his favorite book series! He finished this book so quickly we've already ordered the next 3 in the series! I definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and anything in that realm.

Hard to find, but worth the search if you're a die hard Dune fan.
Dune is a classic. And this book answers some of the most fundamental questions that Dune fans have always had. What did the characters look like? In the book there's about 13 illustrations. And about half of them are in color. The illustrations themselves are not terrific by any standards. In fact, I don't even think they're consistent with the Dune series. (In book V Heretics to Dune Chani's hair color is quoted as red. In the Illustrated Dune, it's clearly black.) But I enjoyed them nonetheless. Other than the few pictures there's nothing to distinguish this book from the original. The illustrations are by John Schoenherr, the same guy who did the original cover art. The copyright is 1977.
