Summary

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.

The performance and background music were brilliant. I enjoyed it thoroughly and the book is written brilliantly, with time taken to describe and explain every aspect. There were no holes or timeline discrepancies.

Well written book with excellent performance

Remarkable job by the narrator who, if I am not wrong, was able to make at least 5 different voices.

Great Audiobook! Loved the music effects and the actors. Without this I probably would have found the book really difficult to continue… 😂

Great Audiobook!

The story itself is excellent - Decide to finally get to know the Dune world at 39 after decades of people recommending it to me. I wasn’t deceived and will definitely move on to the rest of the saga.
The narration was very fluid and pleasant to listen to, with several voices which makes for a richer experience.
The only minor point is that characters didn’t always have the same voices - a character would speak with the voice of a secondary narrator and think with the voice of the main narrator. Combine this with several characters and it can be a tad confusing at times.
Even then I highly recommend this one.

Great story and a (very) minor point on the narration
