Audio Book Summary

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, and Charlotte Rampling.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family-and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

    Good book. Audio quality must have been fixed after some of these other reviews. No skipping in 2020.

    Like so many others have said before, the story is great, the narrators/actors are great, but the skipping and jumping in the audio is terrible. Poor quality oversight on this. Audio starts skipping and repeating no less than 15-20 times throughout the book. Enjoy the story, but be cautioned on the quality of the file being used.

    TECHNICAL ISSUES: - Data artifacts causing lots of record scratching type sounds ARTISTIC ISSUES: - They switch between the narrator doing all the voices and a series of voice actors, which I find unnecessarily confusing Otherwise, incredible book.

    The narrator and production are actually EXCELLENT, but this copy is TERRIBLE. It was clearly recorded from a CD, skips and all, and there are entire minute long sections where it just skips back on itself for a while. Dune is amazing. This audio production is amazing. But the copy of it on this app is unacceptable. Avoid It!

    Great book, a masterpiece of literature. This version is filled with audio errors. It sounds as if someone ripped this book from a scratched CD. Quality, 1/5.

    No audio issues. Overall production values were very good. Now I want to listen to Dune Messiah and Children of Dune (hint hint).

    Just wow! This is what fiction is supposed to be! This work approaches such perfection that it is mind boggling to me. It seems to me that it is above criticism, that if you were to try it would be like trying to point out a flaw in a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Can you be so sure that what you see is a flaw? Or is the flaw your own inability to understand that one part? Anyway I am gobsmacked by the quality of this writing. I’m sci-fi fantasy there is always the danger that when you invent made-up words, that the writing will sound like gobbledygook. Herbert skillfully avoids this pitfall in ways I can’t even understand. What a master! The narration was mostly good. I can’t give it anything less than 5/5, as on the whole this is a 30/5 production.

    Great book and narration. I was worried about the audio problems mentioned in other reviews but took a chance based on reviews that indicated the problem was fixed. No problems with the recording for me. I also liked the production of this audio book that included some background sounds/music. This is not something included in many audio books I have listened to but I felt it was done well and made the experience more immersive.
