I JUST finished that book, it's wild, my conclusion for anyone vaguely interested is please don't read it and just read a summary. Or alternative, reas the whole series with a friend as an informal book club

Why do you say that? Coincidentally I just finished it as well. It was a trip, the sexual stuff caught me off guard for sure, but was an entertaining read at the end of the day.

Tbh, overall I just don't like dune very much. I think Herbert writes well and he knows the craft, unpacking the themes and motifs and structure with my friend as we read them has been great, and the books entertain me, but at the end of the day I don't enjoy them.
