Title: Not the best Simmons
Product review: The Simmons I love is the one in Hyperion, Summer of Night, and The Terror. Stories with a good balance of good underlying ideas for the plot, exceptional character development, and phiolosophical themes. The stories in Worlds Enough have only one of them: philosophy. Lots and lots of it. There is so little else going on than one wonders why doesn't Simmons just write a non fiction philosophical book and get it out of his system already. The last story in particular was so dull I couldn't wait for it to end. The others were mostly Zen riddles, you know, the kind that leaves you scratching your head wonderig what the heck did you just read? The only passable one was the story set in the Hyperion universe, which earns the few stars I am giving.
