Is Dune good or just a meme?

Is Dune good or just a meme?

Both

You make an interesting statement.

It is. It's pretty boring until the Harkonens attack and after that it really picks up. Veeky Forums likes to shit on it because Reddit worships it and because so many people here think only reading really dry, uninteresting litfic makes them superior.

While the part after Harkonen attack is by far the best, I found the early exposition to be quite good.
It's the last quarter of the book that let me down. Things are described way too fast and the plot is only advanced by characters making a succession of decisions retarded enough to unsuspend disbelief.

The literary style of the writer is shit. The action can be good but there are long passages where you are reading a transcript of the thought process of major characters as they cogitate their situation. If you wanna read a space prince thinking about his life for 3 pages then go for it.

underwhelmed by the abrupt ending, I still liked it though.

please, tell us what your favorite books are, and then i'll claim that Reddit loves them and you won't be allowed to like them any more.

>underwhelmed by the abrupt ending,

you didn't know there more more books in the series?

this "meme" shit is stupid as a standard of judgment, maybe if you were a little lees stupid you would realize the term has sense for shit made after the meme concept, but applying it to things before it is plain stupid, read it, don´t be a fucking faggot, it´s not the fucking bible, if you don´t like it fucking drop it, be a fucking man.
Also when you put good and meme in a continuum you are implying is bad, maybe if you just could ask for opinions trying to evade that stupid word...
fuck you pal, fuck you and all the people who reduce literature to this fucking shit.
