    I am trying to read the book right now... I find it incredibly slow (I am like halfway through it). I very rarely have trouble finishing books, but man I am struggling with Dune. I wanted to read the book prior to seeing the movie. Now I am wondering if it is even worth it.

    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    You can really get into it. Or not. It’s just one of those things that will be different for everyone. It’s best to read the entire original trilogy to get an idea of the scope of the whole thing. Then you can branch out from there if the universe and philosophical ideas are of interest. I’ve read the trilogy quite a few times, plus all of the associated novels including those by his son multiple times, including going back and rereading all of it in chronological order as shown here. There’s lots of cool stuff, some slow stuff, etc, but I enjoyed the scope of the whole thing.

    I do fear that it is something that simply cannot be transferred to the cinema concept. It seems unlikely that people who have never read it would enjoy it, and fans of the book will probably never be satisfied. So if you are making that film, it seems you are doomed by a double whammy. I am dreading seeing it because I don’t want to be disappointed yet again.

    I am struggling with the writing style. Since it is considered a masterpiece I was expecting it to be more crisp and well paced. I can follow the story, but for me, it hasn't turned into a real page-turner.
