Hyperion by Dan Simmons
4.75
adventurous funny mysterious tense
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Hyperion started off very strong. Simmons has a way of leading you to a certain conclusion then turning you upside down with a sentence or two. It's thrilling and intense. There were a couple stories that left me wanting more but not in a good way. My biggest complaint is that this isn't a complete story. This 500 page book is really just the first half of a story. I just wish I knew from the beginning that I was making a 1000 page commitment.
