There are science fiction writers—like Philip K. Dick—whose language is plain, but whose writing is good by virtue of their great ideas. Herbert could be one of those writers if it weren’t for the clumsiness of the devices he uses. Characters constantly tell each other in great detail about things they must already know or add unnecessary relative clauses to their speech; all to cram in background information about the world they live in. It is obvious that this information is aimed at the reader and it seriously compromises immersion. It’s a shame I can’t manage to look beyond this because I suspect there’s a deep and richly detailed world I’m missing out on, but I just can’t convince myself that entertainment fiction written like this is time well spent. Better watch the movie…
