If you like genre fiction and world building and can appreciate that it was influential, it's great.

If you care a modicum about decent writing, it's shit.

This goes for most scifi.

Your questions betrays your ignorance.

Seriously though, I didn't like it because I thought the writing was godawful. The way Herbert italicizes the constant interior monologues of every character reminds me of voice overs in a soap opera parody. It lacks any subtlety.

I've forgiven Philip K Dick for his clunky writing but I just can't do it for Herbert. If you're really into world-building and very pulpy writing you might enjoy it.

The writing is so bad. I don't know how so many people can look past it. I can even deal with Philip K. Dick's clunky lack of style but not Herbert's.
