Dune

Dune 
After reading the first two books in the Dune series I have gained a good knowledge about the book and how it seduces the reader into a well plotted out epic of a science fiction book. What really made this book a good book that I enjoyed, was all the great amount of details and undertones that created the Dune universe. This book has well plotted dialog between all the characters, the dialog is very complex but Frank Herbert does an awesome job in helping the reader understand by adding a small sentence to help clear up any confusion. Through the book series many of the characters are killed and many others are brought back from the dead. The series is full of twists that I really enjoyed, the protagonist and the antagonist often interact in dialogs that contain such depth because they are enemy’s yet have to follow sustain rules that their religions and cultures that must be followed. While reading dune you are emerged into a new world full of creatures, planets, drugs, and characters that are a brand new idea. You learn the religions of those who live in the world of dune and you also learn a whole different dictionary of almost endless words and names that you might have never thought about.
In the original Dune there is a lot of action and a lot of characters that are introduces in every section of the book because the world of Dune is so vast. It is a bit confusing for the first sections of the story but quickly everything becomes clear. The second book is very different when compared with the original. In the second book there is much more talking and conspiracy, there is a lot of changing sides and a lot of  constant arguing where it feel there is going to be some fighting but all of the tension is well kept under wraps until the end of the book where everyone and everything changes dramatically.
I did enjoy this book it was unlike a lot of other books I have read. I had to actually take some time to sit down and read this epic book. This book really did keep me stuck to it, I had found myself reading hundreds of pages in one sitting and enjoining it. I feel that more books should write in the same way this book was written. There should be more books with the amount of great detail and the amount of time that I know Frank Herbert sent on the Dune series. If I was to give a number to my rating of this book it would have to be a 8 out of 10 but the only reason it is an eight out of ten is because of its sheer complexity that I have only just started to be introduced to. Over all it was a really good book and I would suggest others who love books with a lot of imagination.
