5.0

The attention to detail in creating Arrakis and the Fremen is staggering.

This story has inspired countless tales after it, but one young man struggling with his place in the universe and the consequences of seeking revenge proves timeless.

This book is elevated above similar stories because Paul can see the horror of a future holy war in his name looming over all of his actions up until the very end.
