i started reading Dune in my sophomore year of high school - got 2/3rds of the way into it - to find some asshole had ripped out 5 chapters.

never went back to it.

but from what I recall - it was def. a book that would struggle to be turned into a movie that suited and satisfied those who'd be interested enough to go see it.

mind you - they said that about LOTR.
