Reader reviewed by Robbert-Jan

The first book of the series, this book surprised me with many very original ideas. I especially like the different schools (Guild, Bene Gesserit, Mentat), the taboo on thinking machines and of course the spice and the neverending striving of the different factions to lay their hands on it. Frank Herbert is a very innovative sf writer, imo.
