My Recommendation: Dune by Frank Herbert
Why did I pick this book?
I loved the David Lynch film adaptation in the early 80s (I may be the only one) and it became the first Sci-Fi book I read in later life, really igniting a passion for the genre and reading in general.
What do I love about it?
The scope, intrigue, ecology and the big ass worms!
What do I hate about it? Frank Herbert’s son got involved in the franchise and wrote some pretty-terrible prequals.
Best read during? Camping in the desert of course!
Value for money? Great to re-read, especially before the new film in October 2021
How many stars would you rate it? 6/5
