Title: Some bad, some very good. Worth a read.
Review: Hyperion is a book of somewhat uneven quality. The sentences have a short, irritating, grating feel sometimes. It's not the most polished of works.The story is in a somewhat unimaginative style where several pilgrims head off to Hyperion and get to hear each other's stories. There's a lot of fluff in Hyperion and the novel could have been cut down substantially.That said, some of the stories are very strange and powerful. The priest's story and that of the man with the child were very disturbing and left a strong impression. Those two alone make the book worth reading. The others were mixed, some ok, a couple very dull.Worth a read, but not a sci-fi great.
