Few fiction books changed my worldview as Dune did.
Weird, unique, foreign, and long thought to be unadaptable (we’ll see how this version lands. I’m cheering for you, Dennis!), Frank Herbert’s masterpiece twists your mind and your conceptions, forcing you to confront the uncomfortable.
After all, fear is the mind-killer.

The Lord of the Rings
When Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, art changed forever. Her transcendent smile's profoundness, ingenuity, and hitherto unseen qualities captivated humanity, from the greatest kings of Europe to her ten million yearly guests. Only one other popular work could rival her cultural and artistic impact — a tale concerning hobbits.

That Girl
Here is another old television program that I remember watching when I was younger 'That Girl' starring Marlo Thomas the daughter of Danny Thomas. Marlo Thomas played the character of Ann Marie a want-to-be actress who moved to New York City to pursue this dream. There were many situations in this show that could still be issues even today. For instance, parents who want the best for their children, but not sure if the children are ready as in Ann's father does not think she's ready. 'That Girl' is really a show for all decades even though it is set in the late sixties and very early seventies.

Great summary! Great critique! I don't know how I didn't see this when the challenge was open. Funny enough, I wrote two articles on Dune for the BookClub challenge.
I really have GOT to read this!
This is one I haven’t read but I am curious about!
Oooo, now I gotta read this! Loved your review!
Love the subtitle for this critique. If the book is anything like the first movie then I agree that its weird and out there.
Something I definitely need to read. Loved the bonkers original film with Kyle McLachlan and Sting to name a few. Not seen the new version. Shall pop it onto my list lol. Nice critique, Matthew. It's true, its influence can't be disputed.
great critique
This is on my reading list.... my immensely long reading list lol
