Why J.R.R. Tolkien, Author of The Lord of the Rings, Didn't Like Dune
J.R.R. Tolkien, author of "The Lord of the Rings" (LOTR), didn't like Frank Herbert's "Dune" due to differences in style and content. Tolkien's LOTR features clear moral distinctions and a richly detailed, mythical world, while Herbert's "Dune" explores complex political, religious, and social themes in a more straightforward manner. The futuristic and technological aspects of "Dune" contrasted sharply with Tolkien's medieval-inspired fantasy. These differences led Tolkien to find "Dune" unappealing, despite its acclaim.
