It took me many years to finally pick up this book and read it. A friend gifted me a copy, and I kept putting it off. Another friend lent me an electronic copy as well. I finally started to read it on a long flight and with zero expectations besides a memory of a previous attempt to read it.
Hyperion was not what I expected. It starts off talking as if you already know the world and the characters background and everything. Which is really difficult to understand. It takes at least a third of the way through before you actually get some idea of world-building. I think this is a book that takes more than one read through to truly 'get it'.
I enjoyed the format of reading a different story from each perspective and the different characters.
