About this listen
Long-listed, Audible.com Best of the Year, 2007
Long-listed, Audible.com 100 Audible Essentials, 2007
Audie Award winner, 2008
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, and Charlotte Rampling
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family—and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Simon vance is brilliant and the voice of the Baron is exquisite
I wish that the Baron’s voice would not be changed so frequently and the Duke and Lady Jessica’s voice would remain constant throughout the narrative

Interesting story and smashing performance
Loved the story, and more than that, the performance and sound effects that made it feel listening to it a surreal experience.

Epic Space Opera
Finally finished listening to this epic Space Opera. The audio production was superb with multiple narrators and wonderful background music and effects.
I don't know if I'm dense but I missed to understand a lot of the underlying concepts. Like why is the Fremen religion influenced by Islam? And how did some people get super human capabilities and what's the history of AI in the universe? There are tonnes of "Why you should read Dune?" videos and now that I have, I feel like I didn't understand some of the takeaways which are supposedly what makes it a great book.
The world building is complex but I found it much easier to understand since I had already watched the movie. And I'm really looking forward to the second movie now. I'm sure the film would be able to visualize the book very well. One of the characters is actually a man in the book but was cast as a woman in the movie to increase the diversity in the film, which was interesting.

Lifelike narration, a sublime tale
The story of course, is a classic, but the amazing voice overs by the entire cast along with the background music so beautifully placed makes it a memorable experience. Absolutely blown away.
