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.

When I was a teenager I thoroughly enjoyed (and found myself transported to) Dune and appreciated it as much as Catch 22 and Asimov's Foundation series. When I was a thirty-something I tried to enjoy the film version without much success. As a fifty-something I am amazed by the richness of the experience provided by this audiobook. The combination of straight narrative and dramatisation works to bring the book to life in a way I did not expect. I recommend listening via an iPod/MP3 player with headphones. If the spoken word can evkoe pictures in your mind, your are in for a cinematic treat!

Two completely different recordings of one audiobook smashed randomly together. Apparently a well known issue that's not been addressed despite the looming movie release, I think the publishers have really dropped the ball here.
Marred what would have otherwise been an amazing experience.

This is a very good book and the reading is one of the best I have heard so far using a variety of people to produce the voices and the readers express the characters well.

Excellent reading

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!

Totally Addictive
