Ilium by Dan Simmons

4.0

Tempted to give it 5 stars because it's so epic, but I didn't love it THAT much. Weaves together three stories, including one that follows The Iliad (uhh, more or less), and is pretty brilliant. I prefer Hyperion, but this is the best thing I've read by Simmons in a long time. I'll read the sequel (even though I wasn't especially fond of the Odysseus character).
