| Re: Hyperion by Dan Simmons
I had hoped you would have had at least a couple more words to spare for this terrific novel. Not that you review need them technically, but just because there are so many great things about this book that deserves mention. Like the atmosphere of the journey across that vast, eerie planet, with the Shrike looming ominously in the background constantly -- you think of it even when it hasn't been mentioned for a while. At least that was what completed the reading experience for me.
Also, earlier in your blog, you said that Hyperion does not quite live up to the hype of being "the best SF since Dune". Why is that? |
