Review: Dune

Dune the book reads like a bad fanfic of Dune the movie, Did Not Finish. Mediocre prose hamstrings worldbuilding that sparkles infinitely brighter on-screen, the robotic in-thought and out-loud exposition is groan worthy, and there's a unhealthy helping of 60s sexism that permeates the plot; thank goodness the movie made Jessica more than a whimpering caricature. And "melange"? Really?
