so is it fair to say Dune is to science fiction, as Lord of the Rings is to Fantasy?
exactly.
i never read it yet, i just constantly here its the best...
but why do sci-fi buffs consider it the best..
is it a complex novel, is it the way Frank Herbert conveys his message, or was it the first novel to really adapt sci-fi concepts

i hear Frank Herbert's other Dune books are not as good though
its weird, Dune is constantly recognized as the greatest sci fi book ever, but the following sequels are just average sci fi books from what i hear

i like all of them
the first 3 are good in terms of plot and suspense and story arc, i dont know why anybody would say they suk
what makes the books great is the blending of philosophy which gives all the story lines a lot of depth and make you think a lot about humanity and what it means to be human
but after the third book, the story line gets hazy and jumps around a lot, there is a lot of dialogue with few actions, i like it but i can see why a lot of people wouldnt

Finished the first 3 books during the summer and it was a pleasant read. I like the intricacy between politics, philosophy and religion and the whole Tuareg-like culture being depicted. If ones like books that triggers the imaginary or depicts other worlds and civilizations, one should read it.
