Grabbed me a copy of Frank's best seller and held off reading it. So far I'm really impressed with the lore and characters.

I have not seen the new films though I'm told by friends they are quite good.

What are your thoughts on the Dune book and films adapting from it?

I thought that the films were identical to the books up until the end. The screenwriter changed the ending. Regardless, I think it was an acceptable change and I thoroughly enjoyed the movies.

No way, so many problems with the timelines and stuff. My biggest problem was with the personal shield. The slow and steady blade my ass. The actual fighting when the shield is used is fast an furious and definitely not how it's described in the book. Plus his sister is not born and she never creeps out the Fremen and doesn't kill the Barron.

Right the ending of part 2 is where the veered off from the book. It's been a couple of years since I read Dune so I don't remember much about the combat.
