A review by brittnilurvesberks
Dune by Frank Herbert

2.0

This book has been recommended to me over and over and over again. I felt the same way when I finally read Cyteen. I appreciate the world the author created, but I was honestly bored reading most of it. There are high concepts throughout, but told through characters that somehow seemed to lack humanity. Maybe that's the crux of my distaste. The main characters lacked compassion in favor of cruel "necessities," that I'm just too near-sighted to see that actual point of them. An unpopular opinion, I'm sure, but it is what it is.
