This is cynical money-grubbing. On principle I am opposed to the burning of books, but I’m also opposed to throwing up, gouging out my own eyes, and holding a grudge against someone I’ve never met. This book makes me want to do all of those things.

While nothing can replace the wonder a reader experiences when discovering Arrakis for the first time, Dune Messiah offers its own unique contributions to the series.
Dune endures because it excels at integrating a cornucopia of interesting ideas into a seamless whole, without force feeding the reader and actually encouraging them to develop their own thoughts on the subject matter.
