I'm half way through the audio book and it's a fucking chore to listen too. Only slightly interested in whats going on and the characters come across as pretentious fucks

Is reading it better? I read the The Silmarillion and that has similar complaints about being hard to follow or get into but I enjoyed it.

Reading it sucked. Huge chore. Also, it gets worse as it goes on.

No - it just makes it obvious that the entire book is rambling nonsense. The prose is structured as if Herbert is saying something profound but as it goes on it becomes clear he had absolutely no idea what that was.

>> No.15718252

one of the few books i've ever completely gave up on reading it was so poorly written and boring. i'll read it before seeing the movie so i can shit on denis even harder though

The first chapter is absolute fucking torture.

I had to drop Dune before I enjoyed it. On my second pass, I enjoyed it very much.

No such thing.
