I found myself re-reading certain paragraphs multiple times. Not because I didn't understand the words, but because it was sometimes important to note the exact wording of a sentence. Often there was much that wasn't being explicitely said.
One of the things I never picked up on when I read the book at 12 was that Baron Harkonen was a pedophile.
