Summary
Long-listed, Audible.com Best of the Year, 2007
Long-listed, Audible.com 100 Audible Essentials, 2007
Audie Award winner, 2008
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, and Charlotte Rampling
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family—and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Beautifully narrated teling of a classic...
The narrator well captures the narrative weight and epic sweep of events portrayed, whilst injecting tangibility - and even humour - into the oftenweighty prose, whilst displaying clear understanding of the rich mythology. It is a very strange decision on the part of the producers to bring in such a talented voice cast...and then barely use them (leading to confusion - until you get used to it - when one moment an actor's voice is in your ear and the next, that of the narrator reading the same character) - surely using one consistent voice, or a cast of players should be a binary decision? Apart from the Princess Irulan, most of the others fall away. That said, l loved the narrator's Stilgar, which joyously captures the rogue leader's cheeky gravitas perfectly. I also found his pronunciation of 'Chani' a little odd and slightly off-putting. But these are really just niggles, it is a fantastic piece of work.

Totally Addictive
My Dad recommended this book to me many a year ago, and when I saw it on audio I thought that it would be an ideal way of enjoying the story. I couldn't stop listening.....doing my housework for a week with my earphones on constantly!!!!
The narrative was brill, and the change in reader helps to hold your concentration. I've bought the next 2 audio books for my holiday next week......I can't wait!

Read this after seeing the movie.
Honestly, a fantastic performance. My Only notes would be they should have used more of the additional voice actors in dialogue rather than just in key scenes. But over all a fantastic story, rich world building and good pacing. 8/10.
