The Fall of Hyperion

The plot was an adequate continuation of the first book, but it wasn't very impressive or plausible to me. I thought a lot of major plot points were extremely contrived and artificial. Besides that, the prose annoyed me. It felt redundant, long-winded, and overly descriptive. These long descriptions were not fruitful either; it's just hard to imagine some of this sci-fi scenery. I thought the occurrence-to-fluff ratio was 0.2. Reading this book after the first is certainly necessary, but I found it a little disappointing.

Oh, also, there were at least 2 typos. >:(
