6/09/25 - Continued Dune Messiah

 Hello, feasyheads!

 I do believe you are owed a review of Dune today.

It was a very long book, nearly eight hundred pages not counting the appendix. THat's why it took so long to finish.

The writing style is pretty different from what I'm used to (the book was written in 1965) and used a good amount of unknown words. It definitely isn't my favorite, but has probably impacted my writing style slightly. 

Moving on to the characters. Paul is all right, and while the complex politics and different political and corporate entities were slightly hard to follow at times, it was easier to do so than expected. 

The worldbuilding was very intricate, and you see how much thought and time was put into perfecting it with every page. 

However, I failed to find Dune as captivating and as much of a masterpiece as I had been told. Perhaps I need to read it at a later time, when I can understand it better. (has happened with past books) But for whatever reason, it was not as easy to get immersed in its world.

It gets an 8.25 out of ten.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,
