I was just reminded I should post this again.
This will be indefinitely reoccuring till there are no more (positive) Dune threads on /lit/.
Only once the general sentiment is to ridicule anyone who praises Dune on sight these threads won't be necessary anymore.

I thought of taking images of especially horrible passages, but I really do not want to waste my time reading another word from that god awful book ever again.
it is enough to just be able to mention the Mary Sue assassin baby, anytime this cringelord mentioned "jihad" in some prophetic manner or jsut reminding everyone of the embarassing ending versus the quickly created villain in a pathetic one vs one for absolutely no fucking reason but some cringe soi motivation that would only inspire Star Wars Rey fans where (spoiler) the other mary Sue character, Paul, wins.

It is such a horrible book I really feel almost assaulted by being recommended to read it so many times. As long as I can help prevent others of this misfortune I will continue making these threads.

Dune and dune messiah were interesting reads as you were drawn in by the world that was being built out.

Children of Dune was an absolute slog as the newness of the sci-fi premise wears off, and a single scene is drawn out to be 5 chapters long with each word or glance hinting at some shift in alliance or betrayal.

Not going to read anymore after this. Clear the author ran out of things to say. Probably something focused on mystery or characterization without the sci-fi trappings would be a better use of time.

Dune is my favorite book, I read it yearly. I can only imagine this hate is because of the new show or the sequels to the original novel. I don't really care about the sequels.
Anyway Dune reads like a religious text so if you're illiterate in scripture or the Greek epics than I get how it could be intimidating to you. Anyway OP I hope the tv show or the movie can help you understand the parts of the book that were too complicated for you. Maybe try an audiobook next time?

LOL. I also read this a couple of months ago. One of my friends had fond memories of reading it in highschool and highly encouraged me to read it. It was an easy read. I liked it.
What exactly do you hate about it?
>>15432122
One aspect I hated about these exposition dumps was how Paul was praised by other characters for almost trivial/obvious observations. Also his abilities didn't quite deliver what I was expecting. Many of the characters were underexplored like Duncan who was supposed to be an ambassador to the Fremen. Hawat was hyped as a powerful mentat but he failed in almost everything he set out to do. Also Yueh breaking his conditioning and betraying the Atreides is so uninspired.

>>15430366

>> No.15437869

The book wasn’t good in the sense that it flowed or was challenging or had characters with depth or said much about the human condition, but it was a fun romp and a page turner. I wanted to know what happened next and I was into the plot drama and the science fiction elements. It was great for getting me back into reading.

I have to agree. Except for the passage with the doctor in the desert, which is possibly the only salvable piece in terms of conceptual "depth", the rest of the book is very shallow, characters are extremely weak, and Paul is, indeed, a Mary Sue. It may have been a nice one if the author focused more on inner states of the character, which he was uncapable of doing effectively.
