Hi
I'm just wondering if any one has read and or loved the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons.It's a series of 4 books set in a sci fi world maybe 400 years from now. The first book is in my opinion one of the best science fiction books ever written. It is composed of 6 stories from the main characters and all the stories are different and have really nothing in common except for the world of Hyperion factoring into them all and tying the characters together.

Oh yes, I love the hyperion series.

I agree that the first book is the best, and the second is, in my opinion, the worst (but still worth the read).

I've read some other Simmon's books, but hyperion is definitely his best.

I know this is an old topic, but I also read these and loved them.
I haven't read any sci-fi nearly as good as this for a long time. I read the first two a month or two ago, and am about to start book 3.
Glad to see some mension of these books, as they really are some of the most enventive and original sci-fi I've read in a good while.

I did the first one for a book club a few months back. I thought it was ok, but when it was
done so was I.
