I mean it's dune, what more is there to say? One of my favorite adolescent sci Fi reads, and a classic of science fiction that mostly holds up to this day.

It's got some outdated/problematic ideas, and it's certainly not as successful as some inheritors of its legacy, but it's an excellent second or third sci Fi book.
