Title: Worst Ending Ever.
Review: The English teacher in me wants Dan Simmons to rewrite this story and get it right. What happened? Ilium was enormously entertaining. I couldn't wait to see how everything would come together! None of it did.This is particularly disappointing because I know Simmons can do it. He is, after all, the architect of the fiendishly convoluted and complex Hyperion saga -- which he brought to a brilliant and satisfying conclusion. This finale, however, ties up nothing.I won't repeat the litany of loose ends listed by other disappointed readers. I'll simply add that I feel their pain. I don't know that I have ever been so let down by an ending.At the very least we deserve a final showdown between Caliban and Daeman!
