Sad to see that the seller still has not updated the product to correct the deficiencies in the font and pixelated pages. Tried numerous times to contact them and so far ignored.
I read this on my Kindle and the graphics were very inconsistent. They were fine on some pages but very pixelated on others.
I really liked it. There were unfortunately some mistakes, such as the wrong character saying something, a some words missing a letter etc. but overall good. There was some expansion from - if I don't remember incorrectly - the original book. Everything looks pretty good, and is pretty faithful to the source material.
good graphic novel
What can I say? I have been a fan of this story since 1976 when I first read the book
In “Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 3 – The Prophet,” Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson conclude their adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” with art by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín with Jesús R. Pastrana, and covers by Bill Sienkiewicz. The story begins approximately a year after Paul Muad’Dib Atreides joined the Fremen and learned their ways. He cements his power and his legacy as the Kwisatz Haderach when he summons a great worm to ride and drinks the waters of life. Meanwhile, Baron Harkonnen continues to lose his grasp on Arrakis and faces increasing pressure from Emperor Shaddam IV. Paul’s mother, the Lady Jessica, acts as the spiritual leader of the Fremen and an advisor to Paul alongside Chani. Paul’s sister, Alia, unsettles the Fremen as she was changed in-utero when her mother drank the waters of life. The conflict comes to a head as Paul reunites with Gurney Halleck and draws the Emperor to Arrakis. This graphic novel continues to faithfully adapt the story of “Dune,” including elements that the film and miniseries adaptations left out due to time constraints. Fans of the series will enjoy Allén, Martín, and Pastrana’s art as they neatly compliment the story and action. A must-read for fans and a great way for new readers to explore the world of “Dune.”
