5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining! Nov 5 2007
By Susan W
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This has got to be one of the best science fiction series I've ever read. The scope of this book and the sequels is amazing, it really keeps you glued to the page. Action packed, great character development, cool technical and scientific concepts, its all there. And many interesting thoughts about the role of religion etc, so it really makes you think. I really didn't want it to end, it was so enjoyable. Probably best to buy all of the books at once, as you will not to stop after reading the first one

5.0 out of 5 stars a master piece July 17 2004
By papaphilly
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Dan Simmons has written a Cantebury Tale style masterpiece. Seven people are on their way as pilgrims to the time tombs to meet a monster called the Shrike. Each pilgrim tells their story of why they are going to meet the Shrike and what they want. Some see the Shrike as a monster and others as a god.

Dans Simmons has created a richly textured world that is very detailed and believable. The characters are neither good nor bad, just various areas of gray. The book is very deep and is worth the effort to read. The book is very readable but will take some time becasue it is not a super fast read. This is the first of four series and the others should also be read. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brand new condition
This book was in perfect condition upon receipt. I am collecting Hugo award winners, and this was the only book I could not find negative feedback on. Have not yet read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original beginning to a space opera
If you like original sci-fi and are prepared to make a commitment (dust off that trusty attention span), then Hyperion may just be the book for you. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Some interesting ideas and passages, but overall lacking
First, be aware that Hyperion consists mostly of the tales of pilgrims on a journey like in Canterbury Tales. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars fascinating story....
Dan Simmons has written a fascinating story, and one that leaves me hanging in such a way that I want to keep reading the series. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Part 1 of 2 ... the only thing is you have to buy two books
A roller coaster ride through time and space, Hyperion will lead you to the most unexpected conclusions I have ever read (at least after book two).

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
This book is a collection of several stories of varying quality.

Overall, I found the writing style to be too wordy. Read more

Well written, with very good imagination and a good story line, however I grow tired with the age old formula of leaving readers "hanging". Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a sci-fi fan
(Due to computer error, this is the third time I had to write a review for this book. So my review will be very short, because I'm very frustrated)

Boring and Confusing
