Dune is cool and a classic and important and bla bla bla whatever

Herbert is a fucking shit writter though, even among his sci-fi peers (which is saying a lot)
he has not rhythm, his prose is inelegant, his characters have no soul, his politics are all over the place.
the sequels being the known clusterfucks they are proves this. the first book is only something notable because nobody had the ideia to make a Lawrence of Arabia fanfic previous to him
