The first battle was a victory, but the war was just beginning.

After attempting to read Prelude to Dune: House Corrino, I didn’t bother trying this one. It may have been good, but the series is just too long, with many large books to get through. Dune is a major commitment.

I watched the movie, Dune, hoping that it may explain more and generate interest in reading the book, but I found it barely watchable. It was interesting to see Sting (of the band Police) play Feyd Rautha, a seriously disturbed renegade.

I find it hard to understand why Dune got so many awards and is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history. But there’s no point reading books you don’t like, so for this book and other Dune books, it’s off to the street library you go!
