Change

To say Herbert writes well is like saying Newton was clever. Honestly brilliant in its complexity from human nature and connection within and beyond ourselves. Herbert also makes interesting points on how adversity is required to help society progress, and how long term vision and flexibility is required to pull the species forward. And yet he also points out that one must not change to much too quickly, without considering the consequences or such change on society and ecological systems, both are of course entwined. Whilst probably accidental it pertains significantly to our current issues in politics and there environmental impacts.

Good performance, but don't entirely buy all voice

One of my favourite DUNE books...takes the political and spiritual shenanigans from Dune Messiah and upgrades the complexity and interplay. My only gripe is the choice of accents, both Gurney and Duncan seem to 'ave stumbled oft the set of Eastenders. Cor blimey, Layto, look at flippin' Sarndwum, '

The best book of a truly classic sci-fi series

I have read the series many times but have not had the pleasure of listening to it. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

Great narration.

Again I'm very happy with all the narration. This series is one of my personal favourites so the fact that the narration is great really helps.

Powerful end to an epic trilogy.

Great characters and story set across an epic scope, but it will need your full attention. it's easy to miss key parts of the plot. Be warned.

Amazing, they just get better and better

After having ignored the popularity of this series for many years, having seen the original movie when it came out years ago and the remake of it more recently by I was intrigued enough by the latter to pick up the first book of the series of which the film only gives us half the story within. Finishing it I was hooked and with this book, the 3rd of the series, I find that starting from great each book thus far improves on the previous and leads me to regret not having read them all much sooner. Fantastic reads all.

Awful women voices

I love the book, but please tell me why the lecturer pretends to make women voices? If you are a man and you make your voice squeaky you still have a male’s voice, squeaky, but male - you don’t sound like a woman! This is terrible! 😭🥴
