I actually like my share of scifi books. I love the hyperion series, a fire upon the deep, lots of books written by Isaac Asimov, and other books, but I really struggled with Dune. I think the prose just bored me.
The being said, I really enjoyed the movie.
- the_af 5y agoInteresting, thanks for sharing. I find Hyperion almost impenetrable -- not the prose, but the fact the plot is not resolved in the first book, that I'm not familiar with Keats, that it's really slow paced with little to no action, and that as the book series goes on it becomes more and more disjointed. It may surprise you to learn I actually like and recommend Hyperion! I like its Canterbury Tales vibe. But I find it harder than Dune, and I really dislike the follow up novels.
- denton-scratch 5y agoA Fire Upon The Deep is my super fave-rave SF book. It would be really difficult to film - as is Dune. I haven't seen the new movie, but two producers have screwed it up. I think a movie of AFUTD would be a guaranteed money-loser.
