The article is pretty well written, and is an interesting read. But it lacks important references. The timeline mentioned in the "Background" section is largely unreferenced w.r.t the dates and years. Claims such as "The character of Penrose is clearly modelled on Herbert himself" cannot be made without a proper citation. The critical reaction secn is very good; other sections need to be modelled on those lines. I am failing the GA for now, have to add more references. Once that it done, please relist. I am sure it will pass. All the best.
One more thing you can consider is to add the cover art, for some visual identification. -- soum talk 07:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
