Hyperion is very clearly Simmons flexing his talents across a variety of range voices, moods, and genres. At one point neo-noir space thriller, at another lovecraftian horror, yet another in intimate family drama. This book is engaging and kept me going even through flawed pacing.

This book has changed the way I view ethics and philosophy in general. It is an at times startling attack on speciesism and the current mode of animal production. This book is what has made me a staunch vegetarian.
