![]() OP is suggesting that these snippets are completely absent from the audiobook. from ‘Manual of Muad’Dib’ by the Princess Irulan Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. And take the most special care that you locate Muad’Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. To begin your study of the life of Muad’Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. They're entirely worldbuilding.įor example, at the beginning of the first chapter, there's this:Ī beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. Wtf right?Īt the beginning of each chapter, there are little snippets that exist outside the narrative. Basically it makes it seem like the story is being told by the Data Archivist from the first episode of the Animatrix who is accessing random files to piece together a story (that reference may be lost on some but for those who know you’ll understand). So you get the impression that the rest of the chapter is being told by different authors in the universe. In the Audio book, they use the title and author of these excerpts as the chapter name. Just the lore which are excerpts from different books and stories within the Dune universe. ![]() So they just excluded about 30 pages GOOD content for no reason.įinally, on the topic of chapters, they completelllyyy miss the point with the chapter names. There are a ton of really important themes and foreshadowing which get told in these parts. Second, they completely exclude the lore which precedes each chapter. The actors themselves were clearly not in the same room for the recording so conversations sound jagged and poorly timed. It’s a dramatic retelling of Dune without the author’s actual words. ![]() This is just my rant on how god-awful the Dune book on tape is you can find on Audible.įirst of all, it’s not actually Dune.
