Hyperion

Well, this is definitely one of those cliffhanger ending books, as many people warned me. So.... close.... yet so far away.Anyhow. The book was excellent, I loved the independent narratives and the writing style. This book made me want to learn so much more about the universe it's based in/on. The allusions to classic poetry and literature were very fitting to the story line, and I think they'll only deepen with what I've read so far of [b:The Fall of Hyperion 77565 The Fall of Hyperion Dan Simmons http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1329610795s/77565.jpg 1882596]. Yes, I immediately went out and bought the next book in the Hyperion Cantos, since I HAD to know what was going to happen to the seven pilgrims next, Well played, [a:Dan Simmons 2687 Dan Simmons http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1202439650p2/2687.jpg]. Well played.
