Title: Beyond Bad
Review: This book was really frustrating, boring, and just not up to par with Dan Simmons others books and series. By the end I was really frustrated that I had waded through 2 long books for nothing. Many of the 'mysteries' were never explained, way too many chapters were devoted to laborious details and inane poetry or quotes, and the story never really comes together. In addition, he repeated himself over and over, using the FULL long names of people and places every time. Perhaps if the books had been half as long and more succinct, they would have been tolerable. Dan Simmons' other books, especially the Hyperion series are simply awe inspiring SCI fi; The Rise of Endymion being one of the best books of this type ever. Not sure what he was thinking with this stuff, but I sure hope he doesn't keep going on this downhill spiral.
