Reviews

Woman & Home
Astonishing in its scope and thought-provoking in its breadth of themes, Dune is an unforgettable fantasy adventure like no other
The Guardian - 5*
Adapted from Frank Herbert's 1960s opus, Dune is dense, moody and quite often sublime - the missing link bridging the multiplex and the arthouse
Isabelle Broom, womanandhome.com, Best Fantasy Books of All Time
Astonishing in its scope and thought-provoking in its breadth of themes, Dune is an unforgettable fantasy adventure like no other
The Independent
A sweeping work of science-fiction that helped define the genre and bring it to the mainstream
BBC Science Focus
Dune, more than 50 years after it was first published, is a story that speaks to the issues of our time
The Guardian
Dune: science fiction's answer to Lord of the Rings
The Independent
Dune is this generation's Lord of the Rings trilogy ... firmly grounded in Herbert's book. The author's story of feudal nobles waging war over Arrakis, the only source of a powerful drug known as spice, is thick with conflicting ideas that academics are still unpacking today
Daily Telegraph
This new adaptation of the 1965 Frank Herbert novel ... it's science-fiction at its most majestic, unsettling and enveloping
Arthur C. Clarke
Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings.
<i>Analog</i>
One of the landmarks of modern science fiction . . . an amazing feat of creation.
