You’re reading it 4 decades too late.
I read it early ‘70s, kept waiting for something to happen.

Dune and its sequels are nowhere near the standard set by Tolkien.

Back in younger days I devoured Science Fiction books. On the advice of like-minded friends, I picked up Dune and began reading it. I got about two chapters in and completely lost interest.

Don’t know what it was about that book, but it just didn’t do it for me. Same with the movie.

I am done with “Dune” and on to “Dune Messiah”.
