Dune

must watch

Love it ❤️

Not sure why they decided to have both a narrator reading lengthy sections, then inserting actors speaking parts in odd places.I would have preferred they had stuck to one or the other, the switching was distracting, but not enough to make me stop listening.Otherwise it enjoyable, a good recording and the main narrator that you hear the bulk of the time was good.I kept wishing Scott Brick had done the whole thing though, instead of just Stilgar's voice here and there.Love the book, I've read it at least a dozen times, it was fun as always to hear it performed.I always catch something I missed when reading.

The book series were great, enjoyed the film but this audio presentation of the book is fantastic. if you have read the book then I can't believe you won't enjoy this. The way its read and the atmosphere created when listening really brings it to life. Hope the rest of the series come out on audible soon.

This offering has been well reviewed and there is nothing I could add. I will confirm, however, in my own humble opinion, this is one great book. The characters are well developed and the story unique. I agree with what some have said that this book is the bar to which all other sci fi must be measured. As to the production? Well, it truly is inconsistent. There are parts, particularly in the beginning, where the actors are superb. The music and loops are always well placed and add tremendously to the ambience and telling of the story. However, things then change. The voices initially acted out by others become the single, strangled voice of the main reader himself for no rhyme or reason and with no obvious logic. Given the story and all that is positive about the offering is so incredible, I still have to give it 5 stars.

A well paced and engaging story in spite of being dramatized.I usually only buy unedited and undramatized audiobooks but I must admit this dramatized version is not bad.However, I still prefer a good single narrator without sound effects.

I would have preferred it if this was presented by a single talented reader narrating the book.I was however willing to accept what the previews state was done, a multiple reader version with different readers "performing" individual characters. Unfortunately what is actually delivered is a confusing third option, where sometimes you get a single reader, and other times (seemingly at random) actors read specific characters.This disjointed production method causes nothing but distraction and prevents the listener from full immersion in the story.I could only speculate on why this inconsistent pattern is followed, but whatever the reason, the result is a less than stellar product. In addition, none of the actors really nails their respective parts.In fact, some are so distractingly bad (Piter for example) they cross over into embarrassing and cartoonish. The Dune Saga remains one of, if not my favorite books, but I am sorry to say that this production just does not deliver.

What has frustrated me endlessly with this reading is that they switch the voices around. So for 6 hours one guy will be the voice of the hero and another the voice of the villain, then suddenly a new chapter will begin and they switch over. I'm not sure what sort of socialist experiment they were thinking of when they decided that the actors should all share the role equally, but its the stupidest thing i've encountered with an audiobook yet.

Magandang pelikula!
