Title: A universe which is more real than reality!
Review: Rarely, a writer manages to create a universe and characters which are so completely realized, so intensely involving, and so compelling, that it can be hard, after reading about them, to segue back to reality. Dan Simmons has managed to do just that. While alluding to Keats and Chaucer, among other literary giants, he works on so many levels that the reader becomes lost in the world he creates, a fascinating world which I, for one, found hard to leave. This book works on an intellectual level as a commentary on religion, as well as on a simple adventure level. I have read a lot, and I can easily say this is my favorite book. Read the whole tetralogy - it is amazing!
