Dune is the story of Paul Atredies, the son of DUke Leto Atredies. They live on Caladan, but the Padishah Emperor gives them Arrakis, or Dune, which is the planet where the spice is made. They move there, and the Harkonnens, another great house that hates the Atredies, has hatched a plot to kill Duke Leto and restore Arrakis to Harkonnen rule.

writing. I read this book for fun, but a lot of things in it helped me make my writing better. Be warned though, after reading this book you may feel like your writing is bad compared to it. I certainly did.

The part at the very end where Alia... well, I don't want to give the story away.

Nothing! I loved the whole book.

Write, write, and write

Bad about my writing. It's so good!

is Frank Herbert. He's written a lot of other books, including the five other books in the Dune series. He's dead, but Dune still lives on, and boy is it a good legacy to leave!

It's probably one of the best, most detailed books I've ever read. Frank Herbert has created an extremely detailed and interesting world that you will come to love.

No reason at all!
