A review by lmsk
Ilium by Dan Simmons

2.0

Three converging plotlines, heavy reliance on intertextuality, and a demonstration of how damn clever Mr. Simmons thinks himself (he is very clever, I will admit) result in this overlong commentary on literacy in society. While the indulgent references to Homer, Shakespeare, and Nabokov are quite impressive, this work unfortunately falls into the "Author Too Successful to be Reined in by Editor" category.

Will probably not continue on to Olympos.
