Hyperion

Was a reach to give this three stars, though it's considered a classic. This story failed for me in two different ways. First, the story is structured around vignettes told by multiple narrators. The quality of these stories varies widely. One of them was so schlocky I could hardly finish it. Two of them were brilliant, so I guess that redeemed the story enough for me. Second, there was absolutely no resolution. The finalization of the story is dependent on the sequel, which totally aggrevates me.
