Title: beyond disappointing
Review: Have you ever read a book so bad that it causes you to doubt the quality of other works by the same author? That's what this did for me.I've been a big fan of Dan Simmons' Hyperion and its sequels, and enjoyed some of his other books. So I was eager to read Ilium and Olympos.Ilium was fine, and introduced some interesting premises, but it's only half the story. Olympos is where he should be tying up the loose ends introduced in the first book, but he kept pulling out new loose threads, right up to the last few chapters. Some of them weird, some of them offensive, some completely inexplicable, and some seeming to have no purpose other than to complicate the plot without moving the story forward.After I finished, I had to reconsider whether Hyperion was as good as I thought it was. Now I need to go re-read that to satisfy my curiosity.
