Talk about world building. Herbert build a world, and a universe, and a language, and a system and, well, heaps. He uses the Jesus myth and history and came up with a compelling mythology. It's a first rate story.
Sometimes it got bogged down in detail and I needed someone to have a sense of humour but it is truly epic.
Lots of nice touches like the good Duke Leto having a propaganda arm. The action sequences are surprisingly short.
