Five stars. Of course.
True Dune from beginning to end. Oh sure, it evolves, but all good art does. Thoughtful and thought provoking, a great read in these times.

Dune Review
Great set, for an even greater series. Dune is still denser than the sand that the planet is from, though.

Great read!
If you liked the movies you will love the books. Adds so much detail and insight to what you saw in the movies and after the first two books takes you and a more complete journey. I highly recommend these they are a great read!

The product is great. Arrived on time and all. Good price for all six written by Frank Herbert. But these are pretty hard to read. Long on exposition and short on plot and action. I get that world building takes time, but the politics and inner thoughts are tedious. Settle in for a long slog if you take them on.

As advertised, overall seems to be good quality
I got a copy of Dune a while back in the new style (currently listed as the Paperback set, which may change - I'll get to that in a minute), but could not find the rest of the series in the same style AND size. For some reason all of the other books in that style were about an inch shorter, and honestly I just wanted a matching set. I had previously viewed this item, and as some of the reviews note, the books were not really a "boxed set" by any means. I want to be clear, the current Paperback selection is a genuine boxed set. I don't understand why Amazon sets this up in a way where a new product just replaces the old one, or why all of the various "sets" of Dune are all listed together. Why would a review for the Hardcover set be exactly the same as the Paperback? People want to know about quality of the material, not just whether the book is good!Anyway, the new boxed set was just released a couple days ago. I bought I liked the art style, along with the size and feel of the copy I had, and I am overall very pleased (though now I have two copies of Dune, so I will be gifting one to a friend). I have two VERY minor qualms with the set. One is it is not exactly the same as the previous copy of Dune, which is disappointing as that is what I have been looking for. It's hard to describe, but the copy of Dune I had has an almost velvety smooth cover, and while the size and art style are the same, the new books have a rougher texture. Again, it's totally minor, but something about that tactile feel when holding it was really great. The second minor qualm is the new copy of Dune has the "soon to be a major motion picture" as part of the cover in a black circle. Not a huge deal. Frankly, I'll probably just put my old copy in the box and gift the new one, but it bugs me when there are permanent additions like that made on a really cool cover (at least the cover isn't a photo of Timothee Chalamet!).Anyway, overall - totally worth the cost for me. Really good set. Love the style. Love the feel of the books in my hand. I'm very excited to read the rest of the series!
