Re: Dune
I picked up the original Dune recently. I read it once a long time ago, but i'm able to appreciate it a lot more now that my knowledge of the english language has increased a bit
What a great book it is! I'll definintely read up on the whole series now (at least the ones written by Frank Herbert)

The prequels weren't great, but I think alot of that just comes from the differences in writting styles. I'm hoping it'll be a bit less noticable in the 7th book. |

Re: Dune
I recently re-read Dune and I decided to read the series back-to-back-
I'm about 3/4 through Children of Dune. Have you noticed the phrase "swallow in a dry throat" repeated an outrageous amount of times? It's that phrase, worded just that way. I've counted it 4 times so far in Children of Dune, and just as many times in the other books, if not more! I find it bizarre, especially since I've never encountered the phrase anywhere else. |

Re: Dune
can't say i noticed it in the first Dune...
I guess it fits the sort of environment they're in though. *edit* actually now that i'm looking for it, i spotted one near the end

Re: Dune
Just an update: halfway through Heretics.
I actually kind of enjoyed the 4th book. Heretics is very nice so far. Maybe spolier: [COLOR="SandyBrown"]I like how the Duncan's are the one familiar thread throughout the books. I also like how everyone refers to them as 'the Duncans'.[/COLOR]

Re: Dune
I don't mind the fourth one, but I feel it's the weakest. I love the direction the fifth and sixth go, and a particular character in them.
