Hey, so…remember that book list? I finally finished another book on there, haha. SHUT UP, SCHOOL IS ALL-CONSUMING.

Today’s book is Dune by Frank Herbert.

Have I read this before: Indeed! Way back in 7th grade in our “advanced” English group.

Review: There’s…a lot more to this book than I remember, haha. It’s hard for me to get past the sci-fi in here, which is funny, ‘cause Dune is pretty much known for how hugely it contributed to the genre. I do really like how Herbert seamlessly incorporates all the sci-fi/technology aspects into a story that’s really about power/relationships/family. But for my personal taste, it’s still a liiiiiitle too sci-fi. Not that I didn’t like it or didn’t appreciate it, it’s just not my usual style of book. I did enjoy it, though, especially now that I could understand it better than I could when I was 12, haha.

Favorite part: I have a soft spot for the Paul vs. Jamis fight, just because that’s the scene we “re-created” (in the loosest sense of the word) for our 7th grade reading report. Bloopers and everything.
