Dune is a really interesting story and universe, but I had such a hard time actually reading the books. I can't keep up with the amount of personal introspection it contains. I would have needed like an abridged version that focused more on getting the story moving.

I love the hyper specialization in the Dune universe (especially the face dancers), but there is waaaaay too much whining and navel gazing.

I guess that's what the movie is lol, I'm excited for part 2 coming out this year.
