Booksnthreads (19 KP) rated Dune in Books
Jun 2, 2018
I had been introduced to sci-fi/fantasy via C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I was accustomed to allegory and metaphor in storytelling.
Frank Herbert introudced my young mind to literature that could be an amazing example of world-building, character development, and storytelling, but also embody a political activism that, rather than feeling didactic, becomes an essential element of the plot.
Dune is still the gauge by which I judge all other science fiction.
