Whoever wrote Dune must have been a part of the upper eschalons of existence because the political metaphors are like nothing you'll ever see.
Never in my life while reading a fight scene did I ever get up and make fist movements and yell FUCK YA! Or been so infuriated I was fuming for days.
I forget my impressive while reading it but by the end it was 'This is the greatest story ever told'. The political implications, everything else pales in comparison.
I'm going to have to go back and reread it then. I read it as a kid so I'm sure there will be a different takeaway from it after all these years.
