Title: Epic Science Fiction, Marred by Adult Content
Review: Hyperion ranks among the best science fiction books I have ever read. It is written to be similar to The Canterbury Tales, I suspect, and it does a fantastic job establishing the universe of the book with every story told. The way it slowly reveals more and more about the situation regarding the Shrike and Hegemony society in general is masterfully written, and the story about Rachel’s Merlin sickness actually had me in tears. While some of the more adult parts of the book felt tacked-on and unnecessary, it was an enjoyable book, and I plan on reading the sequel.I would recommend this to any fan of epic tales and science fiction.
