It’s not that I dislike science fiction. Ender’s Game is science fiction and I love that.
I guess wasn’t interested in the politics of Dune. Which… as I look at the synopsis on Wiki, seems to be much of the story. There are also a bunch of names and terms, and it was difficult for me to follow.
Granted I was listening and not reading so maybe reading it would have made things easier to track, but my wife said she had difficulty getting into it when she read it.
I would have kept listening had she not said anything, but I still don’t think I would have enjoyed it.
