dragstyl 's review for:

Hyperion by Dan Simmons
4.0

This is probably the strangest story I've read so far, I really liked the mystique and mystery surrounding the Shrike and the Time Tombs. Each story "arc" only confused me more and piqued my interest even more.
There's a few things that feel very shoehorned in but it's not a big deal.
Solid book, really interesting cast of main characters, extremely intriguing setting/plot and now I am forced to read the next book!
