I read the first Dune book and I hated it. I know the book is ~60 years old, but all the plot devices, references and lore really sounded dated and it really killed the vibe for me. I also didn’t find Herbert to be a very good storyteller, and there were many plot points severely lacking in detail. The latest movie however, was pretty fucking awesome, and gave the story the futuristic feel it was lacking in the book.
