This is a very good synopsis, though I'm fairly sure the 100th Slave Gladiator tournament took place on Giedi Prime and not Arrakis.

[@jewelscoop3570]

Yup

[@Internetrando]

Thanks for the correction, you're right!

[@robertmcmullin8238]

Thank you! This was perfect, read Dune about a year ago and needed a recap before starting Messiah.

[@zephaniahb4700]

This is such a great video ! Thanks for the quick primer ! I actually needed this before getting into the second book, cos its been nearly a year since I finished this book

[@g4money]

Nice! So Happy you turned the music down in the beginning. Even though I know the story very well, I love these refreshers. Thanks. 😊

[@TiberiusMonk]

Wonderful summary. About to watch Dune Part 2 with friends and this is a super useful video to get me ready. Great job!

[@benmurray2325]

Great video, but Paul taking the water of life and becoming truly prescient is a huge detail to leave out

[@crusader2112]

I started reading the first book awhile ago and took a break, so this is a good recap. Thanks. 👍

[@braunbharproductionsllc]

Thanks so much for putting this together!

[@Biglen747]

Great summary, I’m about to read book 2 after a long break from the first book and this helped a lot.

[@mattoneill4582]

Really nice breakdown! Thank you 🙏

[@helenacorrea6620]

I just bought the 4th book and I wanted to remember things around, thank you so much!

[@jocallahan5195]

Wow, this was such an amazing recap!😊

[@d-ray1084]

I like how you say "for years." it's like "foeh yeeuhz." Great video thank you!

[@codacoder]

In addition to the great summary, you have a lovely voice, and a great accent!

[@berkceyhan5031]

Great summary! Thank you

[@aliramirezruiz3481]

Thanks for this video, I needed a recap. It's been more than 2 years since I read Dune and I wanna start Messiah.

[@amandalynn9237]

This was really helpful!

[@rubendeleeuw1556]

Great video. Thanks. 👍

[@brocton3263]

Wow this was great!

[@Philosophicalavocado]

great summary!

[@reaganmclean4470]

Great synopsis! Yet not even a mention of Duncan Idaho😢

[@ryansavage2152]

When I saw the first movie I was surprised that they made such a big deal about Duncan’s character. He seemed whatever to me having read the first book…..then I red more of the books and yeah he’s kinda a major deal.

[@smk762]

Thank you :)

[@kickmeoffyoutube1790]

There’s a final Kwizatz Hederach still coming

[@lottiegilbert4681]

Good job frank

[@avk-kq7gv]

I think you meant to say that any man who takes the water of life, not any man who takes a truth sayer, I haven't checked for accuracy but I think that's right, thanks.

[@PodreyJenkin138]

They are the same thing, they say the truth sayer drug in the beginning before Paul and Jessica find out that the drug is the raw spice melange aka the water of life They also mention how nobody actually knows what the truth sayer drug is

[@NewportSolar]

I’m curious where your accent is from??? First I thought British, then I though Aussie, but now I think neither? Maybe something else? It is a very pleasant voice.

[@Internetrando]

I get this a lot, and thank you. I'm South African, and the accent is a bit similar to an Australian one. I have lived abroad for so long though, I think the "British" sound kind of creeped in over time.

[@NewportSolar]

@@Internetrando I’ve spent some time in South Africa. Mostly Johannesburg and Durban. I didn’t pick that up, I’ll have to go back and listen again. SA has so many funny and fascinating expressions. Two of my favorites were “just now” vs “now now”. I learned that one in a difficult way 😂 Also learning that “robot” means traffic light 😂 I’ve enjoyed your videos. Keep up the great work 👍

[@MrMikkyn]

I am Australian and I thought she was British Australian 😂

[@MarleneCharlotteSeel]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@julierose4730]

Does this contain spoilers?

[@jpcoqueran]

Accents seem to be a foreign concept to the inept.

[@polsigerson1037]

Went from Witch to Reverend Mother without explaining that they are the same thing, then use Bene Gesserit without any explanation as to what that is and how it relates to either the Witch OR the Reverend Mother.

[@polsigerson1037]

@@dylanremylasody2181 reminder , the video is called "Movie prep: A summary of DUNE by Frank Herbert | The book explained" and it fails to explain things. I know the films and the books, I have read them all, I was pointing out that the video doesn't explain things clearly to the uninitiated.

[@dejanmarkovic3040]

@@polsigerson1037 You also failed to explain the thing you were complaining about her not explaining.
